Message of Support

I’m walking this October for myself, family and friends, along with fellow Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. I personally have suffered through severe mental illness, and have a history of self harm and suicidal ideation. I currently work as a Mental Health Support Worker and love my job so much. I am having weight loss surgery in the middle of October so my goal Km is low. It is also the age I had planned to end my life if I hadn't achieved anything by that point.. I'm now 29 and very glad I never picked a date.

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.
