I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. I was spurred to do this to honour the memory of my daughter's team mate and friend Keely. I hope our collective small actions make a difference to people affected by mental illness and suicide.

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 2

I walked 8.5km yesterday and 5.7km today. I’m committed to putting one foot forward for each day in October. Motivated by the arrival of my tshirt today!

Day 1

Day 1 with a 7km walk to Behana Gorge with Not long into our walk and we met fellow @onefootforward_au participant Shelby! The uphill walk to Behana is a beautiful shady walk with a welcome icy swim at the top. Thankyou to my friends who have already so generously donated. Thankyou for helping to make a difference 💛🖤

One foot in front of the other

I am walking 100km in October to honour the memory of my daughter’s team mate and friend, Keely. Mental health has such an impact on the lives of many, and I am hoping by putting one foot in front of the other throughout October and raising money for the Black Dog Institute, that further support can be provided to those who are suffering as Keely did.
