This year I am once again raising funds for my favorite charity "One foot forward." on behalf of the "Black Dog Institute." They do a lot of research into mental health issues in Australia and are aligned closely with Veteran's mental health support programs. I'm happy to get out at lunch for a 5km walk every Spring and donate a little personally. Bingo my Labrador loves a good walk also, please let me know if you want to join, donate or work colleagues can join our online team (they often make a great contribution also)

Hello everyone,I just want to share a story and make a tribute to a friend's son of mine who recently committed suicide.This was very sudden and nobody saw it coming because he was happy with his life.He adored his wife and children.This is so tragic.His mum was very very devistated and he was her only child.She is struggling with her own mental health issues also.Her daughter in law is along side her with her grandchildren but she is still very traumatized and very devistated and sad.I am doing this challenge to support all adults,teenagers,elderly and young children who are suffering with mental health issues and depression and for suicide awareness and all the people who have lost loved ones or friends from suicide.I also would like to wish everyone participating in this good cause Goodluck and hope you all manage to reach you're goals in this.

No matter how much you walk, how much you raise, just remember that you are ok. You are needed. You are loved. You are a person that will make a difference in not only yours but others life. Be positive, be happy, be you. What evwr you do in life it is a positive. And you don’t know how you will affect others Breathe and relax. No matter how hard you think it will be.

This October, I’m putting One Foot Forward to walk in solidarity with Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. ❤️ I’m taking part in the One Foot Forward challenge to support the incredible work of the Black Dog Institute, helping fund research, prevention, early intervention and support for mental health. Mental illness can affect anyone, often in ways we can’t see. Suicide has also touched far too many lives, families and communities. I’m walking to show that no one should have to face their darkest moments alone. Every step is a reminder that there is hope, there is support, and there are people who care. This October, I’ll be walking for those struggling, for those we’ve lost, for those supporting loved ones, and for a future where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. If you’d like to support my walk, any donation, big or small, would mean so much. 🖤 One foot forward. One step closer to a mentally healthier Australia.

Im walking for my Son surviving his mental health im hear to walk talk and help other raise awareness together to keep our loved ones safe and vakued .

This year marks my 7th year walking One Foot Forward for the Black Dog Institute. ​ I walk for a few reasons that are close to my heart. I walk in memory of friends and family I've lost to suicide. People I loved, people I still miss every day. I walk so their stories aren't forgotten. ​ I walk for my own mental health. I've had my own battles over the years, and I know what it's like to be in that dark place where getting out of bed feels impossible. Walking has become part of how I keep moving forward — literally, one foot in front of the other. And this year, I'm walking with extra motivation. I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. It's been a lot to process, but it's given me even more clarity on why this matters. Mental health and physical health aren't separate — when one takes a hit, the other does too. So I'm walking while I can, for as long as I can. ​ For 7 years I've believed in what Black Dog Institute does — the research, the education, the real support for people who need it. If you can donate, share, or walk alongside me, I'd be so grateful. Every dollar helps someone else keep going. Thanks for supporting me again and good luck to one and all. ​

Everyday we need to celebrate our wins. Some of us may not have started banking our steps, but we have made it through another day. The best part of the journey is one step at a time and we can make a difference. No matter how big or small. DON’T GIVE UP. Xxxx

This year has taught me more about mental health than I ever expected to learn. I’ve learned firsthand how much mental health struggles ripple outward — affecting not just the person going through it, but everyone who loves them. I’ve also learned how much it matters to have people around you who show up without judgment, who check in, who help carry the load when things feel too heavy to carry alone. My close circle of friends did exactly that for me this year, in more ways than I can fully put into words. Their support made a genuine difference during some very difficult months, and I don’t take that for granted. I’m walking with Black Dog Institute because I believe in the importance of mental health awareness and research, and because I want to turn what I’ve learned this year into something that helps other families too. Every step, and every contribution, is a small way of paying that support forward. Thank you for being part of my circle. This walk is for you as much as it’s for anyone..
