Out of the Shadows Walk Coffs Harbour
Lifeline North Coast will hold the annual Out of the Shadows and Into the Light Walk at Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores AND Yamba Breakwall on World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th. This is an opportunity for the Coffs Community to join us as we walk together to support those who are living with the grief of losing someone to suicide, raise awareness of suicide within our community, and remember those lost to suicide and those who have attempted suicide.
This year we are delighted to be able to invite members of our community who are unable to attend our Coffs Harbour walk in person to join us here in this nationwide virtual community and walk anywhere, any time and any distance. On this platform, it suggests 9km for the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day.
Whilst joining this nationwide '9 km Out of the Shadows Walk' is a fundraising platform for Lifeline North Coast, we would like to stress that you can still take part and walk anywhere at any time and for any distance on 10th Sept, even though you MAY NOT WISH to actively fundraise.
Our priority for World Suicide Prevention Day is that it is a day to walk to remember loved ones and help other Australians in crisis come out of the shadows and into the light.
