My Walk

My Progress

My Target

I’m walking for those that couldn’t walk any longer.. and for those who don’t see an end in sight.

TW: Mention of Suicide Attempt & Ideation
Tragically, every year over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life and over 3,000 Australians die by suicide.
I’ve had many family members and even 2 friends lost to suicide. It’s a terrible thing—truly the worst tragedy ever. Great people, the BEST people, are often the ones who take their own lives... and I constantly ask myself, “why?”, “why you?”.

I was diagnosed with Severe Depressive Disorder and have contemplated taking my own life on more than one occasion, and have even made an attempt. But I know the hurt and pain that loss causes, and I know full and well what it feels like to be alone, without any sort of hope.
I intend to be living proof of the heart we people have inside our bodies, and the strength that we people arent aware we have!

I firmly believe that, attempting to find meaning in the ones we’ve lost can, at times, defile their memory. But even so... what is it that those of us who were left behind have been entrusted with?.. there’s no need to find the answer right now but until you do, all you can do is move forward.

All that matters is what’s in front of you, and how far you’re willing to go to set an example; So, I will walk 9KMs on Thursday the 10th of September—not just for Suicide Prevention Day.

But for the loved ones that couldn’t walk any further, and the ones who feel like they can’t walk anymore.

My impact so far

I've raised $127 so far to answer 3 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.
