I'm walking to support the people I love, and to remember those lost to suicide.

In my own life, I have been deeply affected by the loss of loved ones to suicide, and I have witnessed the profound impact it has had on my friends and family members who have also lost people close to them.

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.

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.

Myself and my dear friend Rebecca will be walking to raise funds for Lifeline, to provide suicide prevention services and support for Australians in need.

There will be a time where your mind will be occupied by beautiful things worth living for, instead of these awful thoughts that you’re experiencing now. You are so much more than your thoughts; you are so much more than what has happened to you.

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. ♥
