Sophies Walk

My family are walking to remember those lost to suicide and those struggling.

I myself - Sophie - have struggled with my mental health for years, with multiple attempts and time in hospital. Reaching out for help is hard—especially in rural areas where support is limited. I’m walking to raise awareness, fight the stigma, and push for better mental health support for young people who often feel forgotten. I feel this is the start of something great for me, this is real, mental health is real. You are not alone.

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), we will be taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking for the 9 people lost to suicide every day.

We are walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support Aussies in need.

Please support our walk and make a donation to help those in crisis.

Together we can ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
