Kokoda 2023

Help me create a mentally healthier world!

I'm standing up to join Team Black Dog to turn ground breaking research into life saving action.

Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, with the most common being depression and anxiety. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — individuals, families, workplaces and communities.

I'm inspired by the work of Black Dog Institute and want to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Black Dog Institute's Hike for Mental Health: Kokoda 2023.

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can.

The more people that know about Black Dog Institute, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot to so many!

Congratulations to Brad & his Walk the Black Dog Kokoda team on reaching their $$$ target for their Kokoda challenge. We now wish them all the best on reaching their personal goal of conquering Kokoda. This is a record donation from The Marn Golf Tour, so a massive thanks to all Marn's who attended and gave generously on our 15 Year Anniversary tour this year! A personal mention to Banjo Marn for his kind donation and tireless efforts walking around carrying the bucket and promoting the reason we raise money for Brad, his team & the Black Dog charity as a whole.
