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

Mental health awareness

I am an effective listener and communicator so if ever anyone needs to talk please know that's its more than okay to. Please also know I will support and help you work through life's issues that surface. I want you to know it's not your fault, we never chose alot of what we carry around. We have a choice to either carry it around or put it down unpack it and let it go and repack only what serves a true purpose. What do you choose?

2026 - why i am doing the challenge

This is my second year, doing 150km this time. Last year I did 100km whilst recovering from 3 fractures and dealing with Freiberg's Infraction. I still have Freiberg's and had an acute 4th fracture in late april. I work and practice in Mental and Behavioural Health. I am doing the challenge to support many Australians living with affective disorders/mental health conditions.
