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.

Love the initiative, Yamila! Keep going strong, 10km and plenty of singing to go!
This October, I’m walking in solidarity with Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide. Together, we can break the silence, raise awareness, and show support to those who are struggling. You are never alone, and every step we take brings us closer to a world where mental health is openly discussed and supported. Let’s walk with compassion, understanding, and hope for a brighter future.
