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 $5,076 so far to answer 130 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.

130

My support over 3 years

Over 3 years, I've raised $22,994 to answer 589 calls to help Australians in crisis.

Mel, having lost two brothers to suicide I feel your pain. I remember my brothers everyday and while the pain remains, time does help and I can now look back and smile at memories. I’m sure you do the same with Keira. Stay strong, love Ant
