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.

Morning of day 1

welcome to day 1 of the challenge of 100km for mental health! this morning Maple and I clocked an easy 5.17km however the app didn’t record properly for some reason it froze but anywho here’s the first log!

The start of the journey!

I'm embarking on a 100km walk to raise awareness and support for the Black Dog Institute, a charity dedicated to mental health. Every year, 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness, yet 50% of those affected won’t seek the professional help they need. Tragically, 9 Australians die by suicide every day, and it's the leading cause of death for those aged 15-44. Mental health affects us all, and I’m determined to make a difference. Your support can help provide vital resources for those in need. Please consider donating and joining me on this important journey! Together, we can make a real impact.
