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

Day one 🤍

In April 2024, my life took an unexpected turn. a heartbreaking separation brought ongoing emotional turmoil, including deep pain with episodes of depression & suicidal thoughts. I was trying to hold it together as a mum of four, riding waves of anger & sadness while pretending I was okay. The only reasons I’m still here are a few close friends, a supportive work family & the help of professionals. To honor my journey & help others, I’ve decided to raise money & work to remove the stigma around needing help. Funds from One Foot Forward directly support the Black Dog Institute's efforts in mental health research, education & the development of accessible digital & clinical services. This is something very close to my chest, please know that your small contribution will help in ways you may not even know. Sal x
