Tonielle Christensen

You are not alone. I’ve been walking for the past year for my own mental health. Even on rainy days with my baby in his carrier or pram and umbrella in hand…it’s been a way to process and move trauma from my body. So when I saw this opportunity to walk in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide, I thought I would aim high for a 40km and $1000 goal to raise awareness ans contribute towards a cause that can affect us all.

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

Doubling the distance and goal$

With the help of friends and family, the $1000 goal was reached within days when I had reached 21km of the 40km journey. Since it’s not yet mid Oct, I thought I could double my effort and put it out there to supporters to help raise double to original goal to fundraise $2000! I walk every day. This mental health month has got me thinking and I’ve realised that during the hardest moments of my postpartum betrayal experience…I probably walked 10km a day with my little baby in the carrier. Even if it was raining. Umbrella in arm, I walked Earl Hill in Trinity beach often and the Barron River Water Falls track over the canopy and to Wrights Look out! So here’s to raising the bar and making our life better despite the hard time. We can only control how al we respond to the challenges in life. I say that knowing that there are times when we can even think, barely eat or stop crying so my remedy is to walk and wait. Allow an internal shift and find clarity within…which can take time. And the support of loving people around us. P.S Reach out if you want to walk with me to on this 80km journey!

Blue sky medicine

Living in the rainforest is beautiful and also sometimes dark and grey within the canopy and wet season. This sometimes gets me down. Does anyone else get affected by the weather or season? Equally, on blue sky days I feel a sense of expansion and joy! So in these days I head out in nature and get some sun on my skin. Today I walked the esplanade with Kane who is usually running it and training for a marathon. He has been a great inspiration for moving my body to shift the blues and get a new perspective. It’s a relaxing 5.2km and there’s much to see and loose time with on this beautiful stroll.
