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.
I'm walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support for Australians in 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.
My impact so far
I've raised $799 so far to answer 20 calls for Lifeline's crisis support hotline to connect and bring hope to people in crisis.
With your support, we can ensure that no person has to face their darkest moments alone.

Well done Laura for making an effort for such a worthy cause. I can feel for all those lonely people who contemplate suicide who don't realise how much they are loved by family and fiends.

Hi Laura , such a great effort from you so well done from the bottom of heart. I lost my Mother to suicide when I was 17 years old , some 36 years ago now - Not a day goes past when I don't think about it & the terrible lasting effect suicide has left..A cause I know way too much about & very close to my heart .. So from me to you I send you all the Love , Strength (you'll need that to recover from the 9km walk) and dip my hat in appreciation and ore of you.
