Why I’m walking

I’m walking for Lifeline because suicide and mental illness have left deep marks on my life and the lives of those I love. I’ve lost family to suicide, watched people I care about struggle, and seen the way it shatters those left behind. I’ve experienced my own battles and know first hand how heavy and isolating that darkness can feel. Having spent time in treatment facilities, I’ve met so many others fighting silent, exhausting battles. It opened my eyes to how many people are struggling without anyone to turn to. Lifeline offers hope, a listening ear, and life-saving support in those crisis moments when it feels like there’s no way forward.

Every step I take in this walk is for those we’ve lost, those who are still fighting, and those who need to hear that their life matters. Together, we can help make sure no one has to face their darkest moments alone. 

Please reach out to me if you would like to join. Any donation can help save a life and would be immensely appreciated.

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.

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.
