My Target
27km
Not the 2025 I had hoped for.
On September
10th I’ll be walking 27km for suicide prevention.
It’s not just a cause, it’s personal.
It’s been six months of watching a world I knew crumble without knowing how to stop it.
I went through a heartbreak that cracked me wide open, in ways I didn’t think were survivable. My world broke apart… quietly… relentlessly… until I was left staring at pieces I didn’t know how to hold.
I’ve always believed in resilience, but this time, the darkness felt heavier than usual. Closer. Louder. More convincing.
But I’m still here.
That’s why I’m walking - for the ones still fighting and for the ones who didn’t make it. For the ones who feel too ashamed to speak up and for the ones who think their pain doesn’t matter. It does.
If you can,
please donate. Every dollar helps fund resources, education, and lifelines for
people who feel like they’ve run out of options. It keeps the light on for
someone standing in the dark.
This walk means more than I can say.
My impact so far
I've raised $665 so far to answer 17 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.

All men are called to live out the Hero’s journey. Most of us on the back of tragedy and heartbreak. Suffer well, bear your burden and when you can’t, call on your brothers, family and friends to hold it with you. I’m not going to say it gets easier. I’m two years in from losing absolutely everything but letting go of who I was and taking on responsibilities bigger than me, like you are doing here, has helped immensely in finding the meaning. Suffering ceases to be suffering once the meaning is found. Keep looking, you’ll find it and when you do, you will be more than you could’ve ever imagined.
