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.

Welcome
Hi Everyone,I’ve created a team page for this event throughout October that anyone in Canberra can join. The idea is that we support each other as we support others, to reach 40km and raise funds for The Black Dog Institute.
The charity provides support for those suffering from mental health conditions and provides support for those at risk of suicide. Its grasp is far-reaching and most of us know someone affected by these things. It’s silent, invisible and can be very deadly.
I’d love to grow this team so if you can, we can take the next step to do something together. If you are unable to, you can support us by donating as well. Or just check in with someone you know, who is at risk.

I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. Having experienced the throngs of mental health issues myself and lost too many people to suicide, I want to support the great work of Black Dog by walking next month. And doing so helps me too. Stay strong and know that you’re not alone.
