I’m going to do a heap of walking this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. I’ve been there myself. Know that you are never alone. Reach out to your mates. You might be pleasantly surprised that they are there for you no matter what.

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them.

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of 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

Smashed it

Today I did the 4.2km that got me over the 100 for October. it’s not even near the end of the month. I’ve smashed my original sponsorship goal of $1000 now and I’m up to 2.2K. I feel like I’ve earned the reward. Still happy for more sponsors and I’ll keep running or walking every day.

Day one.

started the day with a jog from Suffolk Park to Broken Head and back. Well I jogged at least half and walked the rest. I had a half hour stop to chat to a guy I just met. I saw whales, wallabies and kookaburras plus people from marine bird rescue were releasing pelicans into the wild. Terrific morning 😊
