Support My 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, I’ll be taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of mental illness and suicide.
I'm 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 my walk.
Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.

End of challenge
The final day has arrived and I am pleased to have achieved my fundraising goal (with a little bit extra for love) and managed to smash my distance goal by getting just short of 300%!
So close!
Today I have reached 59km of my 60km challenge. it’s only the first week, so maybe I can try to adjust my goal and reach 200km! Will that be too much?My impact over 3 years
