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.

I will be walking 74km the week starting from the 10th of September around my 55 hour work week.

This is a cause I am super passionate about as I have lost a few friends both here and in NZ to suicide. The extra kms I will be doing is to include the weekly lives lost in Aotearoa as well as Australia.

Everyone deserves the right to support and help for their mental health. Community plays a big part in that and following my 2020 fundraiser where I shaved my head this year I thought I would walk to remember those we have lost.

If you have a spare $5 it would means heap to me if you could donate :)

Lots of love,

Katia

My impact so far

I've raised $1,037 so far to answer 26 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.
