Help me make it meaningful

I lost my best friend and little brother in December 2021. I am trying to rebuild my own mental health in memory of them. If I am going to live when they can't, I want to try and do it well. Moving my body has had a profound positive impact on my mental health. I have decided to start a fitness journey and climb Mt Fuji in the lead up to October's Mental Health month. I hope these donations saves lives. I hope my fitness journey to Climb Mt Fuji encourages your own. You are worth it. 

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 getting active 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 work up a sweat, all for a great cause.

Please donate now. Thank you.

RUN

Thursday 27th Jul
So I managed to run for 1.5km (10 minutes) last night haha yep, definitely need to keep trying and keep it consistent. I walked an extra 1.5km. I'll be trying again tonight! After long days, I definitely felt the mental shift after trying. 

Making a move!

Monday 24th Jul
I’m trying to move my body more in prep for the climb! Tonight I did a small workout followed by a 40 minute walk. Had a really long day at home with the kids, so I really needed that reset. I think tomorrow I’ll try for a run!
