Out of the Shadows 2024

Lifeline Queensland

Tragically, over 3,000 Australians lose their lives to suicide every year. Join Lifeline Queensland on World Suicide Prevention Day, 10 September 2023, to help Australians come Out of the Shadows and into the light. Join us to walk 9km anywhere, any time, for the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day. Together we will ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone. Funds raised will go to Lifeline Queensland to ensure that our Crisis Supporters have all the training, equipment & support they need to save lives & give hope 24/7.

Today I’m donating on behalf of myself. It’s been a tough year for lots of personal reasons and it’s taken me to a dark place at times but I’m determined to break generational trauma and be strong for my husband and our children and draw on the strength my Morher Clare gave me and keep moving forward and being authentically me and believing in my truth and believing that I’m important and I matter
