Help me make it meaningful
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.

Sharing my Light
Thursday 2nd Nov I am privileged to have been granted the opportunity to experience life in another country for two years. To date it has been an amazing time; however there have been some hiccups along the way. The first happened in November 2022, when I received news that a fellow soldier had taken their own life. Receiving that phone message was devastating and made me question if there was something I could have done to prevent that loss of life. Two months later there was a second incident. I had only been talking to that soldier a week prior. Now I wondered what I had missed and how I had missed it. We all have difficult moments in life - good and bad days - but not everyone can see a way out of the ‘bad days.’ I run to clear my mind. I run to feel free. I run to remind myself that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and I have family and friends that are cheering me onward to that light. So, I am going to run for others in the hope they can have the same feeling. I am currently living in El Paso, Texas which has an area code of 915. I am going to run a minimum of 91.5km (56.85 miles) per month until the day I travel home to Australia in June 2024 to raise money to help those that feel like there is no way out of the darkness. I am going to run with the hope that I can share my light. ShareThank you to my Sponsors

Hope this gets you close but also I feel I should contribute as my knees hurt after each post you share so I figure I feel I am in this with you (in the pain).
