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

Cold steps this am for coffee to get through the first day of term 4

Quick 2km

Day 10

To be so honest I’ve really been struggling to get my kms in this week. Since come back from a holiday yet still being on holidays my brains been playing catch up with 4 assignments due this week, one of those being a presentation 😅 so I set myself a goal today to do some purposeful steps getting out for a 4km walk along the river. For the rest of my stepping well that comes from chasing little cherubs around this afternoon! Let’s just say babysitting is a good way to get ya steps done ✅

Day 8 😅

Today only racked up 4.6kms. That was done by two mega shopping trips one at Costco one at woollies, And then popping past Gran’s in the afternoon to get a couple more steps in before the rain ☔️ * Whatever kms Ella and I walk off today, let’s just say we’ll be putting them back on in Kgs from our shopping 😅🥲

Day 7 = 7kms

Today I started off with a stroll on over to my grandma‘s house to help her with some life admin tasks. And to her surprise I came in huffing and puffing as I was rudely attacked by the local Willy wagtail 😂😂🥲 To finish off my km’s for today went on an afternoon stroll with a good friend along the coast to bump up my km’s 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️ I must say since starting this challenge, I was quite worried about how I was to complete it but I must say since taking One Foot Forward each day I have found myself breaking out of that unhealthy unmotivated self thought and instead doing something positive with it, even if that is to get out by myself and have some sun on my skin or to share this with someone as we chat along and rack up the km’s. Who’d know that taking One Foot Forward would actually not only help myself but also raise funds for a greater cause ! ☀️☀️ * Special shout out goes to Ashleigh Filder for her extremely generous donation towards the Black Dog Institute mental health fundraiser, One Foot Forward. From this kind donation I have been able to up my $$ goal to $800. Thank you, Ashleigh 🥰🥰

Day 6 wasn’t so successful

Got dragged out of bed this morning by my eager sister for a walk and a coffee, which I couldn’t say no to (especially if I get $2 for every km I do with my sister *hint hint Dad). The rest of the day called for catching up on uni and life admin, when I smashed my pinky toe into the brick wall and sliced her open 🥲 Let’s just say lucky I have a nurse of a sister who patched me up, and is also keen for our steps together tomorrow 🤗👀😅
