Hit my target goal of 40km walk already!

Well… I did not expect that! I’ve gone from not walking for exercise at all, to hitting my original 40km target goal for October already! I wanted to originally set a target that I MIGHT be able to make by the end of the month so that I didn’t lose focus whilst raising money and awareness for such a great cause. My 12 year old daughter has kept me on track by either walking or riding her bike along side me. What I’m most proud of is that I find having the drive to go for a walk is getting much easier everyday. Not only am I raising money for this awesome organisation, I’ve noticed my own mental health improving as a result of regular exercise and fresh air. And my sleep has improved too. Most importantly, now that I know I can do it, I have the confidence to increase my October km goal and corresponding donation aim. Bring it on. A special thank you to everyone who has donated to me and supported this challenge so far. (Attached some photos from yesterday’s walk - 09/10/2024)

Speaking about grief and joy.

Updating our team goal AGAIN!!!

Because we have smashed every goal so far I am increasing our goal yet again! I initially put $1,000 and was hopeful we would meet that. Never did I think we would be increasing to $3,000! The support is overwhelming! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

One more sleep to go!

One more sleep until the October One Foot Forward challenge begins to raise mental health awareness and much need research funds for the Black Dog Institute. it’s my first year walking and I am aiming to hit my 40km target and raise $200 for mental health research. I’ve let my fitness decline due to my own mental health struggles, and it’s time for me to regain control whilst raising money for such a worthy cause. Bring on October!

Third Update to our team goal!!

September isn’t over yet, and we haven’t even started our walk, but we’ve already had to raise our team goal from $1,000 to $1,500, and now to $1,700! To everyone who has donated so far, thank you so much for your generosity towards this wonderful cause. We can’t wait to get started!

Already half way to our fundraising total!!

We signed up just a week ago and we have already achieved over half of our fundraising total!! And this is before we have even started walking!!

It's fantastic to see people signing up to take the challenge and to see people putting up money to support those who have!!

We have already set up a couple of events to raise some funds during the challenge and I for one cannot wait for these events, and I certainly look forward to sharing them along the way.

As always, thank you to everyone for your continued support!

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.
