I’m Hiking for Mental Health with Coastrek – Supporting Beyond Blue

I’m back at it again – taking part in Coastrek, Australia’s iconic hiking challenge, for the third time! This year, I’m proud to be part of Fortysomething & Flawlessly Limping – a team full of determination, laughs, and maybe a limp or two!

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. Together with my amazing team, I’ll be training for an epic coastal trek to boost my health, fitness, and wellbeing while raising vital funds for Beyond Blue.

In Australia, 5 million people are living with anxiety and depression, and nearly half of us will experience a mental health condition in our lifetime. Every day, over 750 people reach out to Beyond Blue’s 24/7 Support Service, resulting in more than 275,000 life-changing conversations every year.

How you can help:
On average, $66 starts a vital conversation with a trained mental health professional. With your support, the funds I raise will ensure Beyond Blue can continue being there for those who feel alone, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next.

This journey will include months of training (and the occasional soft sand struggle), plenty of laughs, and meaningful conversations. There will be blisters, breathtaking views, and that sweet feeling of accomplishment when Fortysomething & Flawlessly Limping crosses the finish line.

Your support inspires me to keep going, and every donation, no matter how big or small, truly makes a difference. Together, we can make an incredible impact for mental health.

Thank you for supporting me, my team, and this important cause – let’s do this!
