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.

Go Mel! You are such a trooper - not just because you're raising money for a great cause, but because every facebook post you do along the way helps to make people realise that it's ok to admit you have mental health issues. I also keep wishing myself into the pictures. I hope I can come and do a walk with you one day. Lots of love to you. Keep going xx
