Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

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

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them. 

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of 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

Here we go again

This is an event I've looked forward to for the last few years. This year it comes at a time when my mental health is at an all time low, but my self compassion is at a unheard of high. I've been developing and working on ways to manage mental health since I was 12. For me every time I take my power back, it always starts with a walk, music and nature. This year I'm not so sure how it's going to go. There's some new behaviours that are manifesting not seen before and I've lost a bit of faith. Luckily this is for a good cause and not me 😔 so I'll probably get across the line.  That's what mental health has robbed me if, the ability to feel equal amongst life. I dream of the day I wake up and set an intention to walk 250km this month because it's good for me. I'll be walking around the Gold Coast this year, no doubt I'll see a few of you out there too
