Raising Awareness

Prior to today (10 September) I had surpassed my target. Each of the kms recorded were done while wearing my Out of the Shadows t-shirt.

Today I completed the offical 9km walk (10.4km actually). It was wet and rainy, but this did not dampen my spirits.

Thank you for sponsoring this walk. Together we have raised funds to support 9 calls to Lifeline. Not only that, over the total 49km walked, I have raised awareness to many a walker, runner, driver/passengers who have passed by. While only a few may have waved or offered a greeting, many read my shirt, gave a nod and a smile...I call that raising awareness.

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 $733 so far to answer 18 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.
