I'm walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis

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.

This Saturday, I will be walking 18km to raise funds for Lifeline.

This cause is deeply personal to me, as I am a survivor of both mental health challenges and domestic violence. I know firsthand the importance of having someone to turn to in moments of darkness.

Every step I take on this walk is not just for me but for the countless others who feel trapped, hopeless, and alone. It’s for those who struggle in silence, and for the families who live in the shadow of loss.

Your support can help save lives. Every dollar raised will go directly to Lifeline, providing much-needed resources for those at risk of suicide. Together, we can make sure that no one has to face their struggles alone.

Please consider donating and sharing this message to help spread awareness. Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Let’s walk together toward a future where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.
