Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

This October, I'm walking 100km for mental health - to support those impacted by mental illness and suicide 👣

Each year, 1 in 5 Australians will battle a mental illness, and far too many will do so in silence. The impacts are devastating not only for those living with it but also for the people who love them.

If you know me, you know how passionate I am about mental health. I never shy away from annoyingly reminding people to speak up and talk about how they're feeling, because "a problem shared is a problem halved." Still, even with a psychology degree (ironic, I know), I find myself lost in it all at times. Mental illness doesn't care how much you know or how loved you really are; it can be isolating, deceiving and exhausting. I know what it's like to feel alone in a room full of people. But there is always someone who cares, and there is so much power in the words, "I'm here for you, you're not alone."

My personal goal is to help create a world where conversations about mental health are normal and stigma-free. A world where people feel safe, supported and never alone. I aim to be that safe space for my friends and family, so they always know they have someone in their corner.

That's why I'm taking part in One Foot Forward. I'm walking for the ones we've lost, the ones still fighting, and those carrying invisible pain who haven't yet found the words to share. I'm raising funds for the Black Dog Institute to help put new, ground-breaking mental health treatment, education and digital services into the hands of those who need them most.

Whether you've struggled yourself, supported someone who has or simply believe mental health matters, I'd be grateful for your support.

Every step I take and every dollar we raise together will help build a future with better mental health for all Australians. Please donate if you can, and thank you for walking beside me.

You are loved. You matter. You are not alone 🧡
