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 $10,296 so far to answer 264 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.

Hi Esther, Thank you for sharing this, and I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. What you're doing takes real courage, and turning something so painful into a way to support others is a beautiful tribute to him. 70km over 7 days is no small feat — I'll be cheering you on. I've made a donation to support you and this important cause. Wishing you strength for the walk ahead. Bon Courage Trierry
