Hi Everyone, mental health is something I have been passionate about and has also affected me personally. I am trying to raise awareness for mental growth and letting you know that it isn’t something you have to do alone. I’m not a runner as many of you know (but I’ll get there!!). Usually it’s because I running late… to get food because I’m hangry… away from responsibilities (haha that one is a joke 😜) I have started training this month in preparation for next months - One Foot Forward. Please support my 100km challenge to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide..

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 canΒ create better mental health for all Australians.

My Updates

Brisbane has been raining 🌧️ Dux CrossFit Gym it is.

Forecast is rain this week so I’ll head to the gym to do get my kms. Beauty is there is sometimes some bike work in the workouts or skierg (my fav out of the cardio’s) that I can add to the kms.

At least 5km a day…cookie pic 🐢

Greg reminded me in order to keep up with my 100km I had to run 5-6km everyday… it was hot but I managed to do 5.1km this morning at 9:10am-10am… I stoped a few times to do puppy pats.. met Mochi a black Cavoodle… loved coming home to pass out on the grass and have cuddles with gorgeous Cookie ❀️🐢

Update on my progress!

The start of the month has been a little slower than expected with school holidays finishing up, a surprise visit to emergency… we also bought a new puppy Cookie 🐢 a Yorkshire Terrior. And travelled to Sydney for a weekend to celebrate our bestie family friend Celine’s Birthday. I wanted to do the Bondi walkway run but it was raining 🌧️ that morning. I’ll have to do a rain check for December πŸ˜‚
