A Cause Close to my Heart

Last year was the first year I did this walk and it was amazing seeing everyone walk along the coast and it really did "spark the conversation".  Myself and my friends have lost many people too soon from suicide due to mental health or addiction.  It haunts me to think of the pain these loved ones were in to go through with suicide.  Not only that it's the devastation that those left behind go through, the pain that I've felt from lost ones can be unbearable at times.  Every dollar counts, please sponsor to help Lifeline, or if you're not in a position to donate then please start the conversation and stop the stigma.  Suicide needs to be talked about not shamed.

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.

My impact so far

I've raised $602 so far to answer 15 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.
