I'm walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis

As many of you are aware, our beautiful and beloved daughter, Hannah, took her life 12/09/2022. Our lives have changed forever, as those who have also lost loved ones will attest.

We vowed that we would spend the rest of our lives supporting those in need, raising awareness and trying to break the stigma around suicide.

9 lives a day are lost in Australia, we will walk the 9kms in memory of those and another, in memory of Hannah.

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.

If you feel you are able to support in any small way,  we can help those in crisis and together we can ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

Many thanks, Lucy Forbes
