Final week of campaign - impact level: hope

We hear all too often of the tragic loss of men in our communities, but this felt stark. A curtain lifted on the many pressures women face, especially in advocacy, male dominated and complex social impact work. 
To the gates you opened. 
To the fights you said yes to. 
To the people you championed, mostly that you never even met. 
To the sweat and tears behind the bridges you built, that will remain strong for so many years to come. 
Thank you. 

Thanks to everyone who prioritised funding this. You inspired me so much every time you donated and every dollar will help. No one should ever be alone. 

I'm 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.

For World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept 10), I will be taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking for the 9 people lost to suicide every day.

I'm walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support for Australians in need.

Please support my walk and sponsor me to help those in crisis.

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

My impact so far

I've raised $1,451 so far to answer 37 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.
