Out of the Shadows 2022

Past my fundraising goal in 1 day

I'm absolutely blown away by the generous donations and support I've received in less than 24 hours since I set my goal.
Still deciding on where I will walk or hike. Hiking is more challenging but that's a good thing. 
Fantastic news, my son Oscar Dirk is going to join me.

Dirk "Benarmi"

I will never ever forget the day, 22 years ago, my Brother Dirk made the incredibly brave choice to leave this world to escape his demons.
A beautiful, talented, charismatic young man with so much to share. If only he had back then the access to mental health awareness and support that we have today...things may have been so different.
I would walk forever if I knew that I could find you and bring you back home safely, but I know that is only possible when I'm dreaming .
Instead I will walk 14km to bring you and others out of the shadows on the 10th Sept.
With love,
Bec

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.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, 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.
