Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness each year?

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute to put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.

My Updates

It’s been 7 Years!

7 years since the Black Dog Institute first started the One Foot Forward walking challenge fundraiser.

7 years since I first joined this fundraiser and started walking every October to raise funds for mental health awareness and research.

7 years since my whole world got tipped upside down and I lost everything I had worked so hard to achieve: My home, my business, my health and my sanity and was cruelly cut off by my family as a result.

Every October since, I walk for the Black Dog Institute while the black dog continues to nip at my own heels.

I am not OK. I have lost my sparkle.

I am struggling to find meaning and purpose in my life. I am exhausted from all the striving and trying and hoping…. I am just so very tired., but even still I will continue to put one foot forward and just keep walking, walking, walking…

Thank you for supporting my fundraising challenge this year.
