Australian Alps Traverse

My target 715 kms

Help me make it meaningful

In the last 12 months my communities lost three amazing individuals from issues around mental health. Before this I'd also known another, wonderful human who also lost their life from the same cause.

Mental health issues and their impacts can be felt all around us and can be devastating for those living with depression and anxiety as well as those around them.

For these reasons I've decided to throw my support behind the Black Dog Institute who support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

This mental health month (and into November). I'll be hiking approximately 715kms along the length of the Australian Alps. During this time I will also be climbing the equivalent of Mt Everest with the amount of vertical covered.

Help the Black Dog Institute perform the valuable work that they do and get behind my hike by donating what you can.

Good stuff Danny, you’re smashing it! Over a 3rd of the way there! No doubt you’ll do wonders for your own mental health during this hike, and maybe even someone else. Looking forward to catching up sometime after for a debrief on how it was for you. Cheers
