Support My Walk for Mental Health Research
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness each year?
This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by 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
Target
Hi all, I walked 9.5 km’s today, hoping to beat my longest distance of 13.? km’s however it was literally One Foot Forward the closer I got to 🏡. I’ve just realised the longer distance was done in 2 stints so happy with my achievement today. Feet are a bit worn out but they’ll get a beach walk tomorrow. I’m now aiming for 200 km’s having passed the 2nd of my original targets. keep on keeping on. #onefootforward #blackdoginstitute #sandramaguire Share
Head Cold
I’m full of it ~ sore throat, croaky voice, cough & headache. It’s a day of rest I think other than domestic chores. The sun is shining so I can see my bed linen flapping in the breeze. Enjoy Share
Big Smoke
Did a day trip to the big smoke today on the 🚂 & wasn’t anticipating many steps because purely there for lunch. So was reasonably impressed by 7 k’s. A task for the #onestepforward campaign was to photograph something orange. I’ll share on another page as don’t seem to be able to add here ~ which is a shame. Share
Blister Care
Fundraising
When I decided to take on this walk I had no idea how much to put as my fundraising goal so plucked a number out of my head & have now reached the $400 set. I certainly don’t want to appear ‘greedy’ but believe ever $ I can raise is beneficial for mental health research & action. I am therefore raising the bar & hope that those who are yet to contribute may find it in their hearts to consider a donation. #onefootforward
My incentive
Suicide is something I cannot get my head around & if me walking & raising money to assist just one teenager think differently then I would walk every waking hour. Big love ❤️#onefootforward Share
Blisters
I had lunch @ Proudfoots yesterday & did not factor in a walk along the promenade ~ blisters are the result of inappropriate shoes. Will be resting & treating them for next few days to ensure I’m ready for Thursday. Rookie mistake 🤦♀️ #onefootforward Share
Kilometre target
I’m struggling to set a target that is achievable yet challenging. I am hoping to walk 5 km’s on average per work day & obviously increase that on off days. if anyone believes my target is too low/high please put in your two bobs worth before the challenge starts on October 1 🤗🤪 Share

I struggle with the action of people committing suicide & think there must be someone in theirs world they can trust & reach out to. My reason for walking is to create awareness that as bad as it gets there is ALWAYS a brighter future so remember you are LOVED 💖
