My Target

9km

I'm walking to remember Jai, create honest, open conversations about suicide and reduce the stigma surrounding it 💛🌻

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 $2,372 so far to answer 60 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.

I am so deeply sorry for the heartbreaking loss of Jai. Thank you for your courage in sharing his story so openly and for working to break down the silence and stigma that surrounds suicide. The love and honesty in your words are a powerful reminder of why these conversations matter, and Jai’s memory will continue to touch many lives. I’ll be holding you and your beautiful family in my thoughts as you walk in his honour.
