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.
In memory of my sister Evey on Sep 16, I'm walking 63km this month 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.
Evey was an incredibly bright star who dedicated herself to helping others. One of life’s true empaths, she persevered to overcome her own fragility and to understand how to navigate the vagaries and challenges of the world, always trying, in her own way, to “put things back together”. Striving to avoid harm, Evey had an incredible capacity to forgive. With hindsight, perhaps one would have nudged her a little more to forgive herself.
Evey worked as a social worker for Headspace in the area of youth suicide and was also volunteering for Lifeline at the time of her passing. Knowing the risks, understanding the issues and being aware of the support services available did not mean that she was somehow protected from what she was experiencing.
Things are not always what they seem. From the outside, we can make assumptions about someone’s circumstances, their relationships, their support networks, or how they are coping. We may not know the truth of what lies underneath.
Hindsight cannot change the past, but it can remind us to look more carefully at what we think we know, to listen without judgement, and to remember that someone’s experience may be very different from what we see.
Lifeline can listen, and it can make a difference.
Evey’s message:
“remember the power of words and not to ridicule”
My impact so far
I've raised $1,495 so far to answer 38 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.
