I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm that quickly catapulted me into a fairly severe anxiety with panic attacks. Some days the only way I could fall asleep was to tell myself that if it’s my time I was happy to go. I have found relief in being active on regular walks, playground visits with the kids and even streaming on twitch. So for anyone who feels like they’re going through their worst days know you’re not alone and we can get through this together.

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

Good days and bad days

we all have our good days and bad days. today has been a particularly hard day for motivation. anxiety is sitting right at the surface to convince me any little ailment is something serious. but I’m keeping on keeping on. outside is definitely a mood booster especially once the heat has died down.

Shirt

got my shirt in the mail today! I’m very excited to wear and represent for the month of October 😊

Starting!

I’ve been slowly getting ready for October, I have good days and bad days just like anyone else. I’ve decided to do 60km as it should still be a challenge but not too much to flare up an anxiety attack. I am really looking forward to this. everyday that passes I feel like I am able to feel “normal” again.

Mental health has been a huge influence in my life, especially after losing my brother to suicide and battling my brain ever since. I’m really proud of you, what you’re doing matters!
