My Updates

Nice walk

Saturday arvo walk. Light rain and not cold equal a happy walker. l recieved my OFF t-shirt this week. Now l appreciate a gift 🎁 (reward) for getting $95 in donations BUT this years t-shirt is horrible to wear, l felt like someone was scratching my shoulders and arms the entire way. The design is lovely but it has nothing on last year cotton tee l understand there are budgets to stick to but how about no t-shirt at all if it’s as rough as this one

Late update

Last night walk was nice. Sun shining but the air was cold and clouds loomed as if rain was imminent Only 2 more kilometres to hit my goal thanks to everyone for donating, l really appreciate it, especially in this climate

She’s a hot

Hot walk tonight. Dripping sweat like it’s a 40 degree day Another 3km done and dusted THANKS for all the donations very much appreciated

Walk on the sand

Wow who would have thought a long walk on the sand would be so hard. Lobely view tonight as the sun went down.

Woo hoo

Today l did not feel like walking. Life got in the way then l thought, l will have a rest day. Yeah, righto, like mental illness ever takes a day off. 36km in 2 weeks and l am proud of myself

3km in the tank

In the tank which now equals 33km in a day shy of 2 weeks! Not bad if l do say so myself

Another 3 in the tank

No mess no fuss. Just a quick ish walk tonight. It felt quite easy and quick until the last leg then l admit l struggled and am now having quite the sweat feat !

Dark walk tonight

Had to get my husband to come in my walk tonight. Too much crime happening in Victoria to walk on my own in the dark. Happy l got another 3km in the tank

Sunny saturday

Went for my walk with my husband today. Bright and sunny, something that if you are in the depths of a depressive episode you don’t see what’s in front of you & that’s not because you don’t want to but that you aren’t able to as your brain has short circuited and gone down a rabbit hole.

18km in 7 days

What a beautiful afternoon and evening. It was one of those night where l was busy with stuff at home and thought, tonight l will have a rest, l am also feeling a little tired. No sorry l am not giving in to the chitter chatter in my brain. It was another 3km done and dusted

Sunny daylight savings

My walk tonight was lovely, no wind or rain just blues skies and sun. Towards the end of my 3k there was a huge flock of bird that took to th sky. lucky l wasn’t underneath them 😀

Sunny afternoon

Day 4 and it was a sunny afternoon which is a nice change from then steady rain we have had the past 2 days. 9km in the tank only 41 to go. Big thank you to everyone who has donated xx

Very wet today

It was raining cats & dogs today. l wanted to walk no matter what as we don’t get a choice if we have mental health or not. A little rain is a lot easier than dealing with a mental health episode.

First steps

A 3km walk tonight after work. It was a bit fresh after all the rain yesterday & today but it was nice to get the first 3km on the scoreboard

One small step forward

I am walking this October to raise funds & resources for people who struggle with mental illness.. mental illness comes in many shapes and sizes & is not a one size fits all. Together we can break the stigma and support each other. We can also educate others on how they can help and to know, people battling this illness most likely will not ask for help.
