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

One foot, one step, one action, one choice.

It's been a busy week between work conferences and trying to achieve my dreams in some small way. I want to be a published author. I have depression. 'Depression Voice' gets in the way. Between encouraging procrastination, making me sluggish, and generally trying to convince me to stay small, silent and safe, it is easy to decide to give up.

My writing was done. I was focusing on my teaching career. I love my job. Writing is in my soul.

Thankfully, a step I took on my writing journey a month or so ago came back with good news. My dreams have worth. My writing had value. I am capable. From one step forward. One foot, one action, one choice. Walk with me.
