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 $1,760 so far to answer 45 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.

In memory of my little brother... Your donation doesn't just go to a charity; it directly funds a life-saving conversation. It helps train more volunteers, ensures the phones are answered 24/7, and expands their reach to those who need it most. It's an investment in mental health, in human connection, and in saving lives

Thank you for drawing more attention to this. I’ve already said goodbye to one person through suicide and I came far too close to losing someone else this week
