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

Mental Health is NOT understood by the vast majority.

It can be incredibly isolating and exhausting when people around you do not understand what you are going through.
Mental health conditions are deeply misunderstood because they are invisible struggles with no outward physical markers like a broken bone. This lack of visibility often leads to social isolation, unfair stereotypes, and a reluctance to seek help due to societal stigma.
