People are awesome
Thanks to those awesome people who have supported my Out of the Shadows walk with donations. I've surpassed my $1000 target and more importantly, got us talking and thinking about Suicide Prevention. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and my commitment to walk 9km has kicked off with 6.2km down by 4am. I'm at work, so an extra early start was needed, but it was a good time to think about what the bloody hell we can do to prevent suicide. There's no clear answer, but spending time to ponder the question is where we can all start to fill the void perhaps. Listen, observe, talk and 'Stay Another Day'. Thanks again friends. XxI'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 $1,509 so far to answer 38 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.

Great cause ❤️
Good on you Scott. A lot of people are suffering with all sorts of anxieties. Some of us overcome them or can manage them and some of us sadly, unfortunately get overwhelmed. You’re a good man doing this mate. Cheers
