Out of the Shadows 2024

We're walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis

In 2024, we mark the 11th annual Out of the Shadows walk in Townsville, North Queensland. The Townsville Out of the Shadows remembrance walk welcomes our lived experience community. We provide a safe space to come together and remember those lives lost to suicide, while supporting those impacted by suicide today. Through connection and the voices of others, we unite to raise awareness and overcome the stigma surrounding suicide and suicide prevention.

Please join us on Tuesday September 10th from 5:45am to walk out of the dark and into the light of a new day. Our walk commences at the Rock Pool Pavilion and continues 650m down the Strand, ending at the Stuart Street Headland/The Pier.

We support the Townsville community through our event providing  time for reflection, lived experience speakers, and a community BBQ. It would be wonderful if our community could count on your support this year.
For further details of the Townsville community walk please contact the Lifeline Townsville office on 0417 576 945. 

Our impact so far

We've raised $7,929 so far to answer 203 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.
