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

Why I chose 31km in 31 days.

I wanted to participate and help advocate, and raise money for mental health, as we desperately need more help, more research, and more resources. I suffer from several chronic incurable Conditions, and know how much it can directly affect your overall mental health. After considering any physical limitations and allowing for things I can and can’t do (example can’t be in the sun) I wanted to set a goal that is slightly flexible. Hence the 31kms over 31 days. This will allow for the days I am physically unable to do my walk. So on the days I am feeling a bit better, I can walk extra kms to make up for the missed days. I know it doesn’t seem like much of a challenge, but for me it’s almost doing a 100km walk! However difficult, I am determined to reach my goal and I just want to say in advance, thankyou to anyone who kindly donates. Even if it’s $1 your donation not only goes to a great cause, it also helps motivate me that by donating shows you believe in me. ☺️
