Out of the Shadows 2025

Forever in our hearts

My Target

9km

Work Lunchbreak Walk - 9km DONE! 🎉

Reached my 9km goal today! 🎉
9km for the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day. I have used Lifeline before and I hope anyone in dark times knows they aren't alone. 

I'm hoping with improved health that this time next year, I can increase my kilometres and do longer stints. So very thankful to all who have supported me in a cause close to my heart that some people may not know about me ❤️ this is for you Dad and for all those we've lost and those who have been left in such grief. 

4km Solo Walk on Dad's birthday

Very windy solo walk today! Spring time means some beautiful flowers, but also a lot of hovering magpies making me nervous 😝

Funnily enough, getting swooped was one of the last things my Dad and I joked about - he always said to put an icecream bucket on your head and glue eyes on the back 😂 also, happy birthday in heaven old man - you would have been 76 today 🎉 you would have been the best Grandpa and I'm sad you've missed it. My kids have brought so much joy to our lives.

Thank you to the beautiful humans who are supporting me and this important cause close to my heart and many others ❤️ 

First 3km Completed Today with my Family ❤️

First leg of my walk completed today with my beautiful family - the kids are very tired now. 
It was lovely walking on such a sunny day amongst nature and remembering my Dad (and father-in-law and the Pa my kids never got to meet) and all the loved ones I know lost or been left behind ☀️ bringing light to the shadows

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 $455 so far to answer 11 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.

Thank you for supporting this cause. I’m donating in memory of my brother (your uncle) who passed 45 years ago, when there was no help or support for him or my family. For the anguish we all suffered from your Father’s death by suicide. I wish they could’ve come out of the shadows to stay with us 😒🥹😂
