Final morning for the month

Back again

after a few days of shifting to cycling I am tentatively back to try out the form. a bit of soreness, but fingers crossed it doesn’t introduce a set back. 50% to go 🤞🏽

The water glitzes and it helps me

As I lace up and trot the steps, feeling a bit heavy hearted, mulling over a friend’s struggle, sending her love and strength as she faces one of the toughest rehab journeys to date. The water glitzes playfully as if trying to break the stronghold on my heart. The update from yesterday hasn’t quite left me, the muscle memory and emotions demanding I connect with the feeling.but it’s ok if you’re not ready. you will be in time🍀 In the context my feet are just lazy, my muscles are fine, they haven’t got any excuse really but that they have been enlisted by my brain and are stuck. A tad hesitant, I push through, I can do this, I will. Some days are not all rainbows and unicorns, but one foot forward, one in front of the other, keeping focus on the ONE next step will get us through. thinking of you my lovely friend, it’s a set back, but you will beat this 🧡🍀🧡

Bay walks

Racking up 100kms made easy with views like this or the Mediterranean! 4.4kms one way around San Antonio Bay first thing in the morning, what a great way to be present and give myself the space to observe and just be.

Mental health.

it all starts with talking about it… that’s the biggest step.. doing something about it is the hardest step. doing nothing is the easiest step. walking for a cause… this is the fun part.

Every little helps

Got the first run in 🙌 feeling better for it. The valley offering beautiful conditions🧡

Car key hmm.. convenient

As we kick off this year, I find myself on an early itinerary and the dark and chill air greeting me on the way out is challenging my steps. Oh how tempting it is to grab the car keys… I am pleased to say Day 1 is off to a good start. I persevered by applying a ‘Surf the Urge’ technique. It’s a technique derived from positive psychology whereby you, when an urge pop into your mind, you hold it for 30 sec and you often see the urge decline. And so today I did not grab the car keys, feeling better for it. It won’t always work, but every little helps 🧡

Perfect Start

Fantastic morning to start!

One more sleep!

One more sleep till we put OneFootForward 2024. A simple ‘What if’ by a few during Covid has since grown organically year on year. This wouldn’t have happened had it not been for Anthony Ng a passionate advocate and Alintafier leading our way (pardon the pun) Looking forward to another year of stepping it up to combat the confronting statistics: - #1in5 will experience mental illness EACH year - #1in9 will end their life by suicide - #50% of mentally unwell will not seek professional help. In Sydney just last week, we saw the devastating decision by a young year 7 child to end her life by her own hands. Black Dog Institute fund research, ensuring teachers in school and offer resources for those who need help.

Support Our Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?

In fact, every day in Australia, 9 people will die by suicide.

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them. 

This October, our team will be taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of mental illness and suicide.

We’re walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute, so that they can 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 our walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.
