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

Stumbles

I've had days where I've struggled to get out of the house to walk. Sometimes I've listened and chosen rest. Sometimes I've given myself a little push or someone has said some encouraging words and I've managed to move slowly a few steps. I'm walking with anyone who feels like it's too hard. One step can make a difference.

10 days left

Almost there! 65kms in. 10 days to go. I've felt the difference in my motivation and level of activity from having a walking goal to work towards. Thanks to everyone who's donated so far! Very appreciated!

Walking up to it 🚶🏾‍♀️

Since deciding to take part in One Foot Forward, I've realised the reality of the challenge I've given myself. October's walking goal of 100km requires that I examine how I spend my time and build up my fitness. So far, in September, I'm walking more than usual to support myself in achieving my goal. One step at a time! (coming at me would be pun..itive, instead donate). Lesgooooo!
