Out of the Shadows 2023

Join Us As We Walk Out Of The Shadows

Tragically, over 3,000 Australians lose their lives to suicide every year.  Join Lifeline Queensland on World Suicide Prevention Day, 10 September 2023, to help Australians come Out of the Shadows and into the light. Join us to walk 9km anywhere, any time, for the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day. 

Together we will ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

Funds raised will go to Lifeline Queensland to ensure that our Crisis Supporters have all the training, equipment & support they need to save lives & give hope 24/7.
