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

Those who know me know for so many years I struggled with intense mental health issues and I am one of the lucky ones that survived to see how beautiful life can really be on the other side 

A friend of mine sadly lost his battle 

Sammy I think of you all the time

I want others in that position to not give up and be able to get the help to see just how beautiful life can truly be even tho at the time you think there’s no other option 

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 $126 so far to answer 3 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.
