How you can support the journey


To continue expanding the impact this journey has on others & have the largest positive influence possible, it is important to continue expanding the network, and create as many conversations around mental health as possible.

As Bailey ventures from Wilsons Prom To Cape York, she requires support from the broader community to reach her goal of $100,000 in funding for the Black Dog Institute to assist with Mental Health research & education.

To achieve The Black Dog Institute funding goal, many components all need to work in unison to positively impact as many as possible on the journey.
