The Mindful Mile

Help me make it meaningful

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, often with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact is real, and it can be life-changing – not just for the person experiencing it, but for everyone around them.

That’s why I’m lacing up my sneakers and getting active for the Black Dog Institute – to support vital mental health research and services for those battling mental illness and suicide.

But here’s the twist: I’ve come to realise I’ve been facing my own mental health struggles too. Yep, your mind can be a pretty scary place sometimes. Healing hasn’t been a straight path – it’s been messy, tough, and honestly, a bit of a rollercoaster. But you know what? I’m running with it! Literally.

I’ll be running every day for a month – getting my steps in, pushing through, and hopefully raising some funds for the Black Dog Institute along the way. Every step is a win for mental health, and I’d love your support.

Feel like joining me? Come run, walk, or even jog along! Send me a message saying, “Hey, I’m going for a run!” and I’ll be there to cheer you on – motivation is always better when we’re in it together.

Let’s make this a fun, meaningful journey – for ourselves, for others, and for mental health. Every dollar counts, and your support means the world.

Thanks for being part of this with me!
