Very proud to be getting behind One Foot Forward for the 4th year running. The work they do to support people affected by mental health challenges is incredibly important, and it is much more than just a cause I support — it’s something that has positively impacted my own journey with mental health in years gone by. Being involved, raising awareness, getting out there and taking those steps has reminded me that sometimes it’s the little things that can make a big difference. Nobody should feel like they have to face their struggles alone, and having the right support around you can be incredibly powerful. 👣💙 Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past four years — whether through a donation, sharing a post, or simply getting behind the cause. Its appreciated 👣💙

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.

Days like these

On a day when I really lacked motivation, I pushed myself to the car and decided I’d do a few laps in the pool. Every lap was a struggle and I thought I’d be lucky to last 10mins. Catching my breathe at one end I struck up a conversation with a bloke by the name of Mark. I spoke to him of my goal of doing 100km for mental health, and my journey over the years of my own struggles. Mark opened up to me of his struggles since losing his teenage son, the depression, over eating and the life sentence that will never go away. We chatted for 10mins or so of the coping strategies and boundaries designed to protect ourselves. One thing that struck me was Marks belief that what has happened has happened and that he can only focus no on the present and make a change now, right now!!. I didn’t get the chance to thank Mark only a thumbs up from the end of the pool when he left. Marks chat put me into a new mind set for the day and motivated me to push on, I spent another hour knocking out the laps with purpose !! so thankyou Mark for sharing and all the best in your journey !!
