I'm walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis
This cause is incredibly personal to me, as I have faced my own mental health battles over the past few years. During some of my darkest moments, I turned to Lifeline for support due to financial constraints that limited my access to other mental health services. Not everyone has the financial means to access the mental health care they need, making services like Lifeline absolutely essential.
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 a 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. I’m walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support for Australians in need.
My journey has not been easy, but with support and perseverance, I have overcome my struggles. Now, I want to give back and help others find the strength and support they need.
Please support my walk and sponsor me to help those in crisis. Together, we can ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
