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

2024 Game Plan

This year marks the 4^th year that I have completed the One Foot Forward challenge & helped support Black Dog Institute’s crucial mental health research & support services to help Australians impacted by mental illness & suicide.

Over the years I have raised over $12,500 & walked over 950km. Last year saw me raise & walk the largest amount thus far, I smashed my goal of 500km for the month of October & made the big walk from Mount Annan to Homebush which was 46km. I also managed to raise $7,267.47 for One Foot Forward & Black Dog Institute, so again thank you to last year donors & supporters.

To go bigger & beyond that amount the plan for me was to create a team and beat last year’s effort. Our team “Walking Warriors” will pledge to walk 1,500km between the group & aim to raise $15,000. This will be a huge effort from the team & will need the support & help from all.

I myself, am aiming to walk 400km for the month of October as a personal goal. This will help me in completing my first professional marathon booked for November. This will be a huge accomplishment for me as I have never completed nor thought of doing a 42km marathon.

To spark an element of mystery and temptation for the readers & all supporting, if the team is able to complete the goals of walking/running 1500km & raising $15,000 I will be promising something BIG for the October 2025 “One Foot Forward Challenge” which will also be marking my 5^th year. Details to come throughout the trek this year, please support & donate to our team.

Keep an eye out for more updates of the team & progress.

Cheers

Keiran
