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.
My walk is dedicated to my brother Dean and to support his wife, children and grandchildren. Dean died by suicide on 14th August 2024. He had been struggling for 18 months with the "Black Dog". Our lives have been changed forever and we will miss him very much. If my walk can somehow prevent someone else taking their life, then it will be very worthwhile walk. Please support this very worthwhile Institute.
