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.
I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. Having seen my closest people deal with mental health issues have not been easy. I believe Awareness is the first step to then acknowledging and accepting one's mental health concerns. Hence, I truely feel a sense of purpose to walk for the cause and help build a community that is aware and accepting towards mental health issues.
