Support My Walk for Mental Health Research
October is Mental Health Month, I’ve decided to take a step forward — literally One Foot Forward at a time.
I’m committing to walk 100 kms to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute, an organisation dedicated to delivering life-changing mental health research, treatment, education, and digital services to those who need them most.
This walk is not just for those already receiving support, but also for those silently struggling — the ones who feel they have to carry the weight alone. Every step I take is in honour of them, and in hope of a future where no one feels they have to suffer in silence.
My goal is to raise $100 (our M&T Resources team is aiming for $3000) to help Black Dog continue their vital work.
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Together, we can turn steps into change. 🙏
Thank you to my Sponsors
