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.

My Updates

My motivation

I’ve had a long history with poor mental health. Sometimes I think I’ve overcome life long struggles only to find myself riding the waves again and feeling like I won’t get back to shore. 
I’ve recently been diagnosed with OCD, PTSD, PMDD, ADHD and GAD, among others. This is the most qualified I’ve ever been (!). Mental health is a journey I’ll have to continue to navigate. I’m passionate about raising awareness, reducing stigma and helping those that I can.
