9km walk โœ…๏ธ

On this beautiful Bowral afternoon, I set out to complete the 9km Out of the Shadows walk. As I walked, I thought about the people in my life who have been affected by suicide and how their lives are never the same again. I also thought about a story someone told me about how their loved one contacted Lifeline many, many years ago and sought help and support - also changing their life and the legacy of their family forever.ย 

Thank you to everyone who supported Lifeline and I for the Out of the Shadows walk this year. Your kindness and generosity is much appreciated.

Thank you <3

Sincere thanks to my wonderful family members, friends and colleagues who have generously donated - supporting both me and Lifeline. My little target has been smashed! I'm so grateful for your kindness.

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.ย 

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 $1,453 so far to answer 37 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.
