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.

Running towards better days

There are battles in life that nobody sees. The ones that happen behind closed doors. The thoughts we carry when we wake up. The weight we feel when we smile for others while struggling ourselves. Mental health affects millions of people, yet so many suffer in silence. Too often, people feel alone in their pain, afraid to ask for help, or unsure where to turn. That’s why this cause matters so much to me. Over the next few weeks, I’m committing to running 200 kilometres to raise awareness and funds for mental health support. This challenge is about more than running. It’s about showing up when you don’t feel like it. It’s about taking one step at a time when the finish line feels far away. It’s about proving that progress isn’t always fast, but it is always possible. I’ve learned that healing doesn’t happen overnight. Growth comes from consistency, patience, and the willingness to keep moving forward, even on the difficult days. Running has taught me many of those lessons, and I hope this journey can encourage others to keep going through their own challenges. Thank you for being part of this journey. 200 kilometres. One step at a time. For mental health.
