Out of the Shadows 2023

Day my heart broke

This year I’m going to walk for Kelsey, it’s been many years since I’ve done it, but it’s time to start again. 
As everyone knows I came home one day after I finished work almost 11yrs to find that my girl had taken her own life, she was only 14yrs old.
It tore my heart into two and it has never mended, I have had to accept that it never will, there is never ever a day that I don’t think of her and have a cry.
Even though I remember her every single day, by walking for her it just makes her be remembered just a little bit more.
I have put 9kms as my walk, but with my health issues I’m not sure I will make it that far but I’m going to give it a big try, she’s worth it! 
If you would like to help me by donating (it doesn’t have to be a lot) or even by walking with me I would be so gratefully appreciative. Thankyou 💙💚💙💚

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.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, 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 $635 so far to answer 16 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.
