To my favourite person

Throughout the month of September I will walk 35 kms to represent my brother who will forever be 35 years of age. My brother was someone who could light up any room he walked into. His laugh was infectious, his heart for family was pure, but unfortunately he had his battles that led to his suicide on 24th March 2025.

From this moment forward life would never be the same. Suddenly, I had found myself in a world where I had to live without my big brother, a world where in time, I would have to relearn how to live without him; and whilst it’s only been 5 months, it has been the longest, slowest and hardest 5 months of my life. 

Because of the challenges my brother had, he will never come home again, ever. Whilst I know that being a part of Lifelines Out of the Shadows walk will not bring him back, I am hopeful that it will help someone, somehow. 

To my brother, Christopher, forever and always your little sister. 

My impact so far

I've raised $1,308 so far to answer 33 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.
