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 $864 so far to answer 22 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.

This means so much to me too because we know all too well the devastating impact of suicide. No one should ever have to lose their mum the way we lost ours, and I know that pain is something we will carry with us forever. I’m so proud of you for doing this and helping raise awareness and support for people who are struggling. If your walk can help even one person reach out for help, or prevent another family from experiencing the heartbreak we know so well, then it’s incredibly worthwhile. Good on you Jess for walking in Mum’s memory and helping raise awareness for such an important cause. 💕

Hey Jess, I really liked your Mum on the couple of occasions I met her. Warmth and kindness oozed from her. I hope you feel her and her gifts with you as you walk. X
