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

Mental health is a subject very close to my heart. Watching close friends and family suffer from their battles with mental health has been difficult. I wanted a way to show them that I am here to support them in every way possible. Hence my motivation for this walk is to raise awareness and remind those people that they aren't alone in their fight. 

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.
