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 in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. Mental health isn’t always visible. Sometimes the people who smile the brightest are carrying battles no one else can see. Please check in on your people. Ask twice. Listen without judgement. Remind them that they matter and that they don’t have to face the hard days alone. 💛 If you’re struggling right now, please hold on. Your life has value, your presence matters, and there are people who want you here. Be kind. Be patient. Be the person who makes someone feel seen, heard and loved. You never know how much it might mean. 💛 You matter. You are loved. And the world is better with you in it.
