R U OKAY OCTOBER WALK

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

This October, I’ll be taking part in the R U OK? October Walk for the third year in a row. I’m getting my fundraising started a little later than usual this year, as it’s been a busy year with other fundraising events and managing my own health, but I’m excited to get going and would love your support once again.

This fundraiser is incredibly close to my heart. I live with my own mental health challenges, including PMDD and anxiety, and I know firsthand that some days can be much harder than others. That’s why I believe it’s so important to check in on the people around us and remind them they don’t have to face things alone.

This cause has become even more meaningful to me after losing a dear friend in July 2025. Their mental health battle came to an end, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of them. I carry their memory with me every day, and I’ll be walking in their honour, as well as for everyone who is struggling silently.

Last year, thanks to the incredible support of family, friends, and everyone who donated, we raised $297 and walked an amazing 152 kilometres throughout June/July 2025. I am so grateful for every donation, every message of encouragement, and everyone who helped make that possible.

This year, I’m aiming even higher. My goal is to beat last year’s fundraising total and walk more than 152 kilometres throughout September/October. I’ll be opening my fundraising page early, so if you’d like to support me, you’ll be able to donate before the challenge begins.

Every dollar raised helps support mental health awareness and reminds people that one conversation can change a life. Whether you choose to donate, share my fundraising page, or simply ask someone, “R U OK?”, you’re helping make a difference.

Thank you for supporting me for a third year. Together, let’s raise awareness, honour those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and remind everyone that they are never alone. ❤️
