"This 63 km run is dedicated to a dear friend I lost to suicide, and to all the brave workers who put their lives at risk every day to provide for their families and contribute to the lives we have today. He worked as an offshore diver on oil platforms. He was one of those people who had to put on that heavy equipment, enter dangerous environments and go deep underwater, knowing the risks involved in the work he did. This run is a tribute to him, and to every worker who faces danger as part of their job — divers, offshore workers, miners, emergency workers, and so many others whose courage and sacrifices often go unseen. For my friend, and for everyone who puts their safety on the line so that others can live, work and build their lives. You are remembered. You are valued. And your life matters."

"17 years and 1 day ago I lost two beautiful souls. My Mum and Sister within a 24 time period. Yes my Mum and then my Sister heard the news and already wasn’t too far off feeling that way herself. The news tipped her over to the point of no return. Both were very brave, thoughtful, kind and caring. It’s taken its toll on me in many ways and teared the family even further apart. So my heart goes out to every survivor of a loved one to suicide. Forever remembered and infinite angels 🕊️"

"For those who struggle in silence; you are important, you are one of a kind, you are loved, you matter, and may you never feel alone. There are still bright days ahead of you and things to discover. Keep Holding on. "

"Telisha I love and miss you so much."

"The day I got that call was the worst day of my life. You will never be forgotten. I will always miss you, and I’ll carry your memory with me always. This 10K is for you. For your memory. For your life. For the person you were and the impact you left behind. I love you, and I miss you more than words can say. This is for you, always. 🕊️"

"26 years ago my life was turned upside down when my mum told me dad had died by suicide. I was 18, it was the year 2000. My family didn't show emotions, therapy was used as a threat, suicide was anxiety word. I had no support. It changed me forever. I was mad at my dad, and guilty because I was the one who spoke to him last. As an adult I now empathise with what he must have been going though. My partner has been close to suicide before, he has taught me his side, and he says I have shown him that loved ones are not better off without you. I know my dad called Lifeline a few times during his struggles and I am forever grateful for those extra days, weeks or months that we were given together because of Lifeline. The least I can do is fundraise so that someone else receives the same benefit. "

"Today, I am walking 10 kilometers to honor those we have lost to suicide, and to stand with everyone who is still fighting in the dark.This walk is deeply personal for me. Not long ago, I was in a very dark place myself. I know the weight, the isolation, and the pain of feeling like there is no way out. But I made it through, and today I am walking to prove that there is hope on the other side.I am walking so that those who are struggling right now know they are not alone. I am walking to break the silence, to erase the stigma, and to make sure that nobody else has to go through that darkness without a hand to hold.To those we have lost: you are remembered. To those still fighting: please stay. Your story isn't over yet."

"Forever in our hearts and memories forever cherished "

"You are never alone, I love you"

"Brightest star in the sky If only you’d seen there was reasons to stay "

"I miss you dad, I am doing this for you 🤍 "

"Lost to suicide. Never forgotten. Walking for him, for everyone lost to suicide. To prevent anyone else feeling the way he did❤️"

"I will be walking 63kms to honour the 63 Australians lost to suicide every week. I myself have had a rough few years through high school and can understand just how hard life may be to the point where ending it feels like the only solution. I will walk in pride of myself and to honour those who lost their battles. "

"You are loved and missed every single day ♥️"

"I seen you the night before, you were more then fine, the next morning we hear you are no longer with us and you have taken you’re own life. Left all of us with no goodbye "

"An effervescent smile. "

"In may 2026, I tried to take my life. it didn't work, and i ended up in hospital. When i made that decision, i immediately told one of my friends, and she convinced me to call an ambulance. Her name is winter. I had only met her one month before but we were friends, and i knew she understood. she made sure i called the ambulance, get the help i needed and made sure i was alright. What i did wouldnt of taken my life had winter helped or not, but i surely wouldve felt like i had died. Without winter, i would be here today. I would've tried to end myself again, and again, and again until it worked. but i didn't. Because of winter. i am eternally grateful for her. "

"My walk is on behalf of my husband whom has been recently going through his own dark days. It has been scary not knowing if he's himself today or if it's his thoughts. Being there for someone who's not there is draining because there would be days where I would go into my thoughts, then I would remember I'm not the one I should be worrying about it's my husband. He's been lost lately and we're trying to find him again. Everyone else that is going through their own just know you are STRONG, BRAVE and no one will know what's wrong until you tell them. Don't feel wrong when your not in control or when you think nobody will be there for you, there are 28million other ears out in Aus to hear and understand your pain and struggles. Never feel alone."

"You will never walk alone"

"I lost my dad to suicide in 2024. He was one of the most resilient, intelligent, selfless people. He made everyone around him feel loved and cared for, and put everyone above himself. He was in the Australian Army and he served to protect our country, which is one of the most selfless acts someone could do. I want to remember him and raise awareness in any way that I can. "

"Missing you Caleb "

"You were the best singer ever, we will miss you forever, love you Chester! You will live on forever in our hearts, and so will your music."

"She was the person i've never spoken to but felt like my bestest friend. I hope she knew how much her fans loved her. You were and will always be loved 💛"

"My dad died by suicide when I was a baby. He may have left when I was too young to remember him, but he will always be a part of my story. I’ll carry his memory with me for the rest of my life, and I’ll always wonder about the father I never got the chance to know but growing up without him has taught me something important: if you’re struggling, speak up. Ask for help. Don’t keep it to yourself. There is always someone you can talk to."

"I will be walking in honour of my best friend Kayla who passed away just over a year ago and her brother who also passed away due to suicide in 2018. Kayla’s favourite quote was ‘in a world where you can be anything, be kind’. It is a constant reminder to always choose kindness because your words carry weight and some people are barely hanging on 💛"

"I will forever mourn the life we could've shared together; I wish I got to see you grow old, get better, and live life genuinely happy. I love you forever G. I miss you. "

"I'm doin this I honour of my lil brother "not by blood" but by choice. cause we wer more than mates we were Family, sadly he took his own life in 2021. I guess he felt alone wen he definitely wasn't (it's not weak to speak) rest easy Zac bro. "

"To all who struggle with life healthy normal people don't experience you are not alone "
