"In memory of my beautiful daughter, Tessie. Tessie was one of those rare people who made the world gentler simply by being in it. Despite the challenges she faced living with cerebral palsy, she lived with extraordinary determination, compassion and joy. She was studying Social Welfare because she wanted to help others, and she had an incredible ability to listen without judgement, see the good in people and make them feel valued. Tessie loved music, loved to dance and had a wicked sense of humour. She also had enormous courage. After six months of training, she left her electric wheelchair to complete a 6km walk in a walking frame, raising more than $15,000 for Lifeline. But her greatest gift wasn’t what she achieved. It was who she was. She taught me more about kindness, acceptance and unconditional love than anyone ever could. I miss my beautiful girl beyond words. Through this fundraiser, I hope a little of the love and goodness Tessie brought into this world can continue. For you, Tessie. My daughter, my greatest love, and forever a part of me. 💜"

"You are so strong for staying with us, I love you."

"For my grandmother and my mother, I walk to remember and advocate for change. For my friend, I continue to fight for LGBTQIA+ inclusion and the irradiation of hate. "

"You are so missed 😢 "

"Loved deeply and missed beyond words. Your fight is over son, rest easy little buddy. Love Dad, Mum and K "

"I hope you know that you’re not alone, even on the darkest days. We all have moments where things feel overwhelming and scary, especially when we feel like we have to face everything by ourselves. But please remember that there is always hope, and things really can get better. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. Take your time, breathe, and process things in whatever way you need to. Just keep going, one day at a time 🤍"

"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 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. "

"Stay strong "

"You are loved 🩷"

"Kyle was a funny and beautiful person in my life and I never noticed anything but the laughter and smiles she put on my mothers face and to this day all I hear is stories of their beautiful memories together. She was my mums bestfriend and she loved me like her own daughter but unfortunately she struggled mentally and overdosed 2 years ago. No one knew her struggles were as bad as they were and I just wish someone was there for her when she must’ve needed it. Look out for your loved ones 🕊️"

"Ive always struggled with staying strong but together we are all truly unstoppable."

"We lost my Uncle Nigel to suicide when I was just a child. I have foggy but lovely memories of him. The pain that it caused our family is something I couldn't explain. I wish he was still here, to see the children that have been born. To laugh with us when we all get together. To remince To have lived a life & shared his pain. We would have held some of it for him. I've included an image which has an excerpt from a book I read, 'How to see yourself as you really are', by the Dalai Lama. It helped me immensely when I personally went through a very dark time. It may help you too 🩵 "

"You were the most amazing father to your beautiful kids … and living without you will continue to be our biggest heartbreak.I know you are protecting them from above . We love you and miss you "

"I've experienced depression & anxiety for as long as I can remember. I try to be strong, but somedays I can barely function. I can feel so lonely - but, I know others are out there going through the same & worse. Even if we don't know each other, we may never meet... but I'm thinking of you & sending you strength & love. I try to remember: ☆ I may feel lonely but I'm never alone in what I'm experiencing. ☆ It's not that I don't want to live, it's that I don't want to live this way. Meditation has helped me in ways I could never explain. I highly recommend even basic breathing or body scan mindful Meditation. Take care, the world needs you. I need you. You need you. This life were living, it's maddening & beautiful all at once. And you deserve all the beauty, joy & love it has to offer. "

"We are dedicating this walk to our beloved friend Elina, who we lost to suicide just a couple of weeks ago 💔 What makes this years World Suicide Prevention day feel even more personal, is that Elina’s funeral will be held the day after. As we are literally on the opposite side of the world and cannot attend the funeral, we will be walking in the name of Elina - to raise funds so that nobody else will leave this earth the way she did. So that we never have to receive these news about one of our loved ones ever again. Too many have gone, way too young. We are heartbroken and still mourning her death, but want to try to turn this sorrow into action. We want to break the stigma surrounding suicide, and open the discussion about mental health. We ourselves are no stranger to these dark thoughts. So let’s talk about it. Elina was a beautiful, talented, strong individual with a very unique world view - hence the goal donation amount chosen. As she would say, Love is the law, love under will 🖤"

"Im doing this walk because Im in a dark place myself but still pushing through but sadly some people couldn’t. This is for them. And this is for all the children who sadly could not experience the joy of life. May everyone find peace and joy, regardless of nationality, race, gender, status and more."

"I doing this fund rasie for a family member who took he owe life few years ago at young age may he life never forgotton xx"

"For everyone who has battled mental health and lost someone to suicide "

"forever young "

"Forever 18 🤍 You will always be remembered and loved so dearly. You should never have had to feel so alone in this world. I miss you more than words can say and ache for just one more hug. I love you always, Charlie. 🤍"

"Doing this walk so no one has to be or feel alone again, showing support to my beautiful sister and everyone else in their journey "

"Always with me dear friend and never forgotten. "

"I’m dedicating this walk to my baby brother Khalis who was just 20years old. Hoping to make a difference so others never have to feel alone 💙🙏🏽"

"I'm walking for awareness of suicidality and to honour my support network (my positivity army) in pushing me to be the best that I can be at all times. Every day, getting outside is a struggle (due to depression), and with this challenge, I can push myself, confront my fears, and make my army proud. I love you all, and together, we got this 👍 ❤️ "

"this walk is in honour of you and myself. i love you dad. we miss you. cheers to you in the skies above. "

"Sometimes the ones who give and do the most for others need that time and love given to them… He gave it all!"

"Sometimes the ones who give and do the most for others need that time and love given to them… He gave it all!"

"im walking so that nobody has to feel as alone and hopeless as i did."

"I’m dedicating this walk to myself, and to the friends and family I’ve lost to suicide. ❤️ I’ve been in some really dark places. I’ve stood on the edge more than once, and there have been times I honestly didn’t know if I’d make it to the other side. But I did. I’m still here. And I know how hard it can be to find the strength to take that next step when everything inside you is telling you to give up. So that’s what this walk means to me — one foot in front of the other. One more step. Then another. Just keep going. If you’re struggling, please stay. Please reach out. Please keep going. You never know what’s waiting for you on the other side. 🖤"

"I am not religious, but as I sorted out my fathers possessions, after he passed away, I love this piece I came across highlighted in a Bible on his coffee table, which I hope gives others comfort too. "2 Corinthians 4:17–18: For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. These dark thoughts you might have are only a short moment in time, please make that phone call or text for help, tomorrow is a new day full of opportunities and hope! Even use a code word, like we have made up in our friendship group, text "wanker coffee" aka, I need a pick me up, please reach out. My Grandfather and his son, my Dad, passed away 5 months apart in the exact same location, using the same mechanism to pass away. If only they had reached out and texted or called and got the help they needed."

"You are so loved and so missed rest in peace sweet girl "

"My beloved past partner, whom was known by many, loved by all."

"Together, we will ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone."

"Thinking of you all the time and missing you so much my friend. "

"I miss you, I wish you knew how loved you are❤️"

"Love and miss you forever. Gone way too young."

"I am walking for those people who suffered from sepsis and took their lives because the recovery was too much to bear. "

"In honour of every person who has fought a battle that others could not see. For those we have lost, those still struggling, and those who found the strength to keep going. May we continue to create a world where nobody feels they have to face their darkest moments alone."

"Liv was one of my best friends, and there aren’t enough words in the world to say how much I miss her. She was the most beautiful, kind, thoughtful, funny and loveable person I have ever met. She had a way of making everyone around her feel loved and safe, and I feel so lucky that I got to call her my best friend. She changed my life for the better, and it’s so hard to picture my life without her in it. She left us far too soon, and if only we had more time to live through all the plans we made, all the places we wanted to go and all the memories we still had ahead of us. I would give anything to hug her, hear her laugh and tell her I love her just one more time. I wish I could have one more conversation, one more laugh, one more ordinary day with her. I hope she knew just how deeply she is loved and how much she means to all of us. I will always remember your laugh, your beautiful smile and the way you lit up a room the second you walked in. I will carry every memory of you with me for the rest of my life. You may not be here for all the moments we imagined, but you will always be a part of them. You will forever be with me, my angel. Love you."

"It's been 38 years since you departed Dad.. You left this world to escape your pain - I couldn't understand why at the time - I was shattered & hurting so bad..pain became my whole world.. A lot has happened since then & I do mean a lot - but I'm pretty certain you know that - & in that time, the pain became the gain. It hasn't been an easy path..but I don't think it's meant to be lol? I was on a razors edge, staring into the abyss. I could clearly see that if I was to slip in, there'd was no comomg back - the Dark (K)Night had come for my soul - & that was the night, my life changed forever. Thank-you Dad..I know you helped me to save myself❣️. Life has never been the same since. I am eternally grateful & feel extremely fortunate - I am truly blessed☺️. Love you always Dad - looking forward to seeing you on the other side of the veil, come the time😉💚💜❤️..thanks for everything - until then xoxo"

"This one is for you. Enjoy those red tins up there. xo "

"I am walking for your memory and hope that other families don’t feel the same pain we have. Dad I miss you so much! "

"It's going to be ok. There are connections out there. Reach out and look after yourself. We are worth it. "

"Writing to everyone feeling alone and scared right now. I hear you and I understand you, please reach out. I love you. "

"To all those who felt there was no other choice, I hope you’ve found the peace you needed. To all those still here considering it, there is still hope, things will get better, you are good enough and the world is a better place with you in it. "

"Hey I really wish you would have reached out for support. Didn’t matter how small or big someone would have or could have been there. I know you are in a better place now but omg we all miss you troublely "

"For you, and everyone else with you. I love you forever. "

"I can still hear your laugh xxx You are missed by so many Michelle, a beautiful soul who left a lasting legacy. "

"Suicide can impact anyone, regardless of how strong or resilient they may appear on the outside. I always saw my dad as a tough, thick-skinned man who could handle anything. I never imagined that he could be struggling so deeply. His passing has impacted more people than he ever could have imagined. I wish that he could have known how loved, admired and valued he was and how many people cared about him. If there is one thing I hope people take from Dad’s story, it’s thatSuicide can impact anyone, regardless of how strong or resilient they may appear on the outside. I always saw my dad as a tough, thick-skinned man — someone who could handle anything life threw at him. I never imagined that, beneath that strength, he could be struggling so deeply. His passing has impacted more people than he ever could have imagined. I wish more than anything that he could have known how deeply loved, admired and valued he was, and how many people cared about him. Check on the ones you love and have those difficult conversations. "

"I hate you for leaving but love what you left us with thank you for the memories and smiles for that ill cherish forever. "

""You are loved, you are wanted, the world is better with you in it, we are here for you " "

"i miss you"

" Gone far too soon. Saddened we will never meet up again. Always in my thoughts. "

"I loveeee youuu so much brother I miss u so much hope u takin care of ur mum up there even tho u dead I miss everything u would be so proud of me and how much ive grown in 2 years but I am also proud but also fucking hurting we had so much time together and I wish u were to see me and tell me."

" I have chose to walk in memory of the many beautiful souls we have lost to suicide, and in support of those who continue to fight their battles every day. Mental health has touched my life in more ways than I can count. Like so many others, I have experienced my own struggles and have watched people I love face theirs. I know how heavy life can feel at times, and how important connection, support, and hope truly are. To those we have lost, you are loved, missed, and remembered. Your lives mattered, and your memories live on in the hearts of those who knew you. This walk is for you. It is for those who are grieving, for those who are struggling in silence, and for those who need to know that they are not alone. Together, we can continue the conversation, break the stigma, and remind one another that help, hope, and brighter days are possible. Forever remembered. Forever loved."

"In memory of my beautiful best friend Milly. There are so many things I wish I could tell you, and so many moments I wish you were still here to experience with us. You were so much more than what you were going through. You were a best friend, a daughter, a teammate and someone who was deeply loved by so many people. Behind everything you achieved and the person everyone saw on the outside, you were carrying an enormous amount of pressure. Between family circumstances, the expectations and stress that came with sport, and being away at boarding school, you were struggling without feeling like you had someone you could truly talk to. I wish more than anything that you had known how many people would have listened. I wish you could have seen yourself through the eyes of everyone who loved you and known that you never had to carry everything by yourself. Losing you has changed my life forever. I will always carry our memories, our friendship and the person you were with me. I will keep talking about you, saying your name and remembering you for your kindness, your strength, your laugh and all of the little things that made you you. I’m walking Out of the Shadows in your memory, but also in the hope that another young person who feels alone will realise that there is someone who wants to hear them. No achievement, expectation, family situation, sporting result or pressure is more important than a person’s life and wellbeing. You should still be here. You are loved beyond words, missed every single day, and you will never be forgotten. "

"I miss you everyday Dad!! Xx"

"In memory of my friend 🤍"

"In memory of my mum Trish and my friends Shaun, Edward and Matthew 🩵"

"A great man who helped me out a lot in younger years and who took his own life. It really hits you super hard and I think about them at least every week."

"Top bloke always was so spontaneous and just wanted to do everything sadly his mental health got the best of him but just cause he passed doesn’t mean he’s legacy did too. Forever 21 "

"I love u so much and wish I had've been able to help. I think about you all the time and hope u know just how missed and loved u are. You were an absolute powerhouse, so smart, so insanely strong and I hope one day to be as gritty, altruistic, and driven as you. Rest easy aunty kath, I hope u know how much u drive me and how much u are missed "

"Thinking of you every day. "

"I'm walking for my aunty. Forever in our hearts, taken from this Earth too soon."

"the kindest man I’ve ever known. with a smile that lit up every room he ever entered. I miss him every day. "

"I hope he’s got his drum kit with him down there in Hell. And caused the Devil to wear earplugs. 🤘🏼🫶"

"My walk is dedicated to myself, my husband, and my cousin; all survivors of suicide attempts. Though it is hard everyday and a struggle to get out of those tough times, it's the people you love most that you can lean on to help you out. I hope my husband and cousin know I'll always be there for them as they've been there for me."

"In memory of those who lost their lives to suicide, and in support of every person who is still fighting through their darkest moments. This walk is a reminder that no one should have to face those moments alone. We walk for hope, awareness, compassion, and for a future where reaching out for help feels possible. "

"Miss your face :) "

"Walking in loving memory of my sons bestfriend Gabe Thank you for being his biggest fan and being apart of our family. We will miss and love you forever. "

"In a time where there has never been more hate spread through social media, and politics, there has never been a more important time to protect and offer safety to those that need it the most. "

"Miss u my bro"

"I cannot tell you how many times this service has saved me from myself, I live with extreme gratitude and hope that as time passes I need it less 🤍 All too often it’s said that suicide is the easy way out. It’s common to hear the word ‘coward’ roll of the tounges of people who haven’t lived it, or don’t understand it. On my darkest of days I’ve been told that I’m selfish, inconsiderate, that I’m a bad person who’s hurting those who I love. I am none of these things… these words are far from helpful, they do not empower the suffering nor do they make you ‘snap out of it’. They simply add to the stigma and self loathing, further impacting a persons ability to speak up. I will forever be a safe space for anyone needing somewhere to purge, to throw all that hurt or to simply hold space and sit with them silently sharing their darkness. 🤍"
