Support My Walk for Mental Health Research
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of 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.



I’m walking again this year in memory of my sister, who took her own life two years ago. This is my third year raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, and every step is for her — and for every person, family and friend affected by mental illness and suicide. Losing my sister changed the way I think about mental health, kindness and the way we treat one another, including in our workplaces. We may never know the full weight someone is carrying, which is why compassion, connection and checking in can matter so much. I walk to remember her, to keep the conversation going, and in the hope that better research, support and understanding will mean fewer families experience this kind of loss. For my sister. For those we’ve lost. And for those who are still here. 🖤
