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.



This year, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to support the Black Dog Institute and help raise awareness for mental health. Mental health is something that can affect anyone, at any stage of life. I’ve personally experienced how difficult it can be to navigate your own mental health, and I know how important it is to feel supported, heard and understood. I’m walking not only for myself, but for everyone who has struggled with their mental health, for those who are currently struggling, and for the people who quietly put one foot in front of the other every single day. Every step is a reminder that you’re not alone. 💙 If you’re able to support my walk, every donation helps contribute to vital mental health research and support through the Black Dog Institute. One foot. One step. One day at a time.
