Forever in our hearts

My beloved Dad Terry

I love you Dad. Miss you everyday.

My Walk

My Progress

12km

My Target

9km

I'm walking to remember my amazing dad; Terry. ♡

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 $4,591 so far to answer 117 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.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sherrie. It takes remarkable courage and strength to channel such heartbreak into something that brings hope and support to others. Your father's legacy will continue to live on through the difference you're making. Way to go Sherrie! Cheering you on!
