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

3 weeks of walking

After 3 weeks of consistent walking each day, the mental and physical wellbeing benefits are starting to happen. Daily walking is becoming a habit now and more often social catchups are becoming a walk and talk. Conversations seem deeper and flow more easily when they occur while walking. The good things I am noticing now are I want to walk each day now, my hip injury is improving and my legs feel stronger, and the dark thoughts have subsided. This challenge has been a perfect one after what was a hard start to the year. It has given my brain and body a much needed reset. Thank you to everyone who iis supporting and following along and to those who have donated towards the wonderful programs and research The Blackdog Institute provides. Better mental health takes a community, kindness and connection.

Day 9

Thank you to everyone who has donated to my fundraising, offered words of support, walked with me and showed kindness. Walking even the 2km a day has been harder than I anticipated with the hip injury but already I am feeling the benefits of walking daily. It is getting easier to go out and do it, my legs are beginning to feel stronger and the hip injury is slowly improving. I still walk at snail pace and dont even mind now. 🐌 I cannot wait to see the improvement that happens slowly with another 3 weeks still to go.
