My walk is dedicated to the memory of my son, Daniel

Tribute

I’m walking in memory of my son Daniel whose mental health struggles overcame him at the age of just 17. I'm a passionate advocate for normalising conversations about mental health. If we can normalise talking about things before issues arise, we are much better equipped to lean into difficult conversations when things get tough.

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.
