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 month, 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.

Week 1 down
Week 1 complete and on target to run 188km by the end of October. Feet are sweaty, knees and ankles are weak they like spaghetti!
Let's do this!
Hi guys. I'm challenging myself to run 188kms individually in support of mental health with One Foot Forward as part of a team at work. In ED where i work, we have witnessed patients time and time again presenting to ED with mental health illnesses and unfortunately, attempted suicide. This challenge is to raise awareness for those impacted by mental illness and suicide in Australia . Feel free to donate or just cheer me on because I'm terrible at running. 😅 The funds will go to the institute to help with new treatment and education. I am hoping to run the whole 188km by the end of October. Wish my luck! https://www.onefootforward.org.au/fundraisers/cassandratram/one-foot-forwardMy impact over 1 year
