Support my walk for mental health research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians face a mental illness every year? This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute. I’m walking not only for myself as someone who has experienced mental illness, but for everyone navigating mental illness and suicide, as well as the family members and friends standing beside them. Having experienced this firsthand and witnessed loved ones go through similar struggles, I know how deeply it affects all of our lives. I also want to use this walk to highlight how often mental health challenges and disabilities coexist, bringing much needed awareness to both. The Black Dog Institute works tirelessly to put ground breaking treatments, education, and digital support into the hands of those who need them most. Every donation helps us build a future with better mental health for all Australians. If you’re able to donate and support my walk, it would mean the world to me 🤍✨
