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 Updates
Done and dusted
Thank you to all who supported me and the team at the TIO. That was the month that was.
Thank you friends - you have inspired me
Almost there!
I am on the last leg of this month long challenge. Every dollar helps. Please add some $ to my fund raiser. TQ
Yay
Need your support
145 km to date. I hope you can chuck some money my way to help mental health research
Good weekend of walking
shared my mental health fundraiser in conversations which is a great way to start awareness
A chance to talk
the byproduct of waking for a cause is that it’s an excuse to talk about the fund raiser and mental health. it’s good to talk about the health benefits of walking and through that the health and well being.
Good walk day
WFH allows for beautiful walks. Nature is a great healer and energiser.
Day 1
A good start at 7.5km. I had to go into the office which reduces my walk opportunities.
Tq to those already contributing to the fundraiser.
Mental health is good for us, good for business and good for the community.
Be well, work well and live well. I am focusing on movement. Movement means what you do wherever you are. Moving and keep regularly moving throughout the day and that counts for your daily steps. If you can go for a walk, its fantastic too. It does not matter how short you start off, just walk or move.My impact over 2 years
