Brendan Burns memorial team

Out of the Shadows 2023

Join my walk

Dear family and friends. You can join my team walking to remember Brendan and raising money for Lifeline suicide prevention at the same time. September 10th starting at my house and walking 9 klm to Williamstown where we scattered Brendans ashes. Xxx

We're walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis

Tragically, every year over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life and over 3,000 Australians die by suicide. 

Lifeline receives over 1 million contacts from people in crisis each year.

Suicide has devastating impact on friends and loved ones.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, we will be taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking for the 9 people lost to suicide every day.

We are walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support Aussies in need.

Please support our walk and make a donation to help those in crisis.

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

Our impact so far

We've raised $6,153 so far to answer 157 calls for Lifeline's crisis support hotline to connect and bring hope to people in crisis.

With your support, we can ensure that no person has to face their darkest moments alone.

157

Thank you to our Sponsors
