Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

That’s why I’m hiking 10,000 kilometres in 2024 and raising funds for the Black Dog Institute - to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health as I complete the challenge.

Please donate now. Thank you.

Wishing you luck! We live in the US and know how hard the weather is this winter. Stay safe. Take lots of breaks, stay in lodges when weather is uncertain, stay with other hikers, and please be careful. Great cause to fundraise for. Keep up your bravery and perseverance.
