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.
I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. In a world where we all know someone with mental illness it can be hard to know how to help. Join our team to meet like-minded people and increase activity in your life. This group is for people of all abilities wanting to make incremental change to their mood for the month of October rather than running a marathon! Some of the best memories of my beloved Grandfather were our gentle walks with more chatting than anything else. I do this in honour of him and to find some new walking partners to keep the gentle walk and a coffee in my life. Join me as I try and create this space for leisurely activity inclusive of all abilities whether it be a pram, Walker or walking stick.
