Support My Walk for Mental Health Research
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?
I am 1 of these 5. Bipolar disorder nearly took me out of the game for good. It can be so scary to be alive and thriving in a world where your brain doesn't want to co operate. It can be debilitating, but research, medication, therapy and advocacy all play their roles in my, and many other people's, recovery journey.
This October, Iβm 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 canΒ create better mental health for all Australians.

When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you be the savior of the broken The beaten and the damned?" He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers The plans that they have made?" "Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom To lead you in the summer To join the black parade"

Iβm walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. As someone living with Bipolar Type 1, my motivation is to raise awareness for mental health and raise funds to break down barriers to accessing support.
