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.

A few more k's
The Black Dog takes another.
Just over a week ago, my aunty, a daughter, sister, mother and grandmother, lost her battle with the Black Dog.
This loss has hit my family hard. Mental health is something that has always been important to me, and anyone who knows me well knows I value mental wellbeing just as much as physical health.
While nothing can take away the pain our family is experiencing, I hope that by sharing our story we can help others and prevent another family from going through the same heartbreak.
In October, I have set myself a personal challenge to walk 150 kilometres in one week to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute and the incredible work they do in supporting mental health research, education, and services.
More important than any donation, I ask that if you're struggling, please speak up.
Reach out to someone you trust. It's okay not to be okay, but you don't have to face it alone.
Over my years working FIFO, I've seen firsthand how challenging life can be at times. I've also seen the difference a simple conversation can make.
Check in on your mates, listen with an open heart, and never underestimate the impact of asking someone, "Are you okay?"
If you'd like to support my fundraiser, any contribution, big or small, would be greatly appreciated.
Together, we can help ensure that more people get the support they need before it's too late.

Hi Wonderful People, Mental health takes far too many Australians every year. Sadly, my family knows that pain firsthand. That's why, from 4-6 October, I'll be walking 150km on the Cape to Cape Track to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute and honour those we've lost to mental health struggles. With only a couple of weeks to go, I'm hoping to reach my fundraising goal of $5,000 before I take the first step. Every year, around 55,000 Australians attempt suicide, and more than 3,300 lose their lives. Behind every one of those numbers is a family left grieving someone they loved. The walk will be tough. There will be brutal beaches, steep climbs, endless sand dunes and moments when every step hurts. I'll finish the walk on my youngest child's birthday, a reminder that every family deserves more birthdays, more memories, and more time with the people they love. After years of working FIFO, I've seen how easy it is for people to carry their struggles in silence. I've also seen the difference a simple conversation can make. If you can, please help me make a difference today. ✅ Donate if you're able. ✅ Share this post. ✅ Check in on a mate. ✅ Ask, "Are you okay?" Together, we can help ensure more people get the support they need before it's too late. Donations are tax deductible the more you donate the less tax you pay Most importantly, if you're struggling, please reach out. You are not alone. Thank you for your support. Timon Dik
