My 1st walk today was amazing, knowing What a great cause my every step is for, for every person affected by mental health, as we know it's not only the people who suffer with mental health but the people also supporting, caring, assisting those family members or friends,.... C'mon let's kick our goals.... Big Shout out to everyone participating 👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣

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

Silver sands beach walk,

Today did morning walk of 2.2km, along silversands beach, it was perfect day with sun shining and coastal breeze, may even do a sunset walk this evening,... keeping in track, I know I will easily do my 40km,..it's a beginner's distance a safe distance to not be overwhelmed. I will easily reach half this week, 7km to reach halfway goal,..

Today i found a sacred tree

In today's walk which was brisk and worked up a huge sweat lol,..as I normally just go at medium pace,...it's good to get sticky hot for a great cause... I came across a sacred scarred tree, with Mental Health, it's message just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there 💙👣 Bindjareb Boodja

On track

Good morning, today Oct 3rd, I walked 2.77km, and staying on track, I didn't walk on the 2nd, as I had a friend with me from Sydney,and time just got away, I wanted to then do a sunset walk on boardwalk, but had no company for evening walk unfortunately, so making up 2km missed on Friday 2nd Oct, I am so determined to stay on track and complete my 40km challenge,..every step for people who suffer with mental health,..👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️👣❤️
