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.
I am the Director of a mental health support organisation, Indigo Support, and I see the impacts of living with mental health in my every day work. These people are fighting a hidden challenge and need all the help that they can get to reclaim their happiness and health. Mental health issues do not discriminate and can affect anyone. You never know what inner battles other people are experiencing. Be kind and understanding of everyone you meet :) I’m walking in solidarity this October for all Australians affected by mental illness and suicide.
