I'm getting active to support Lifeline.

Tragically, over 9 Australians die by suicide each day. It's a shocking statistic which is why I'm raising funds to ensure Lifeline's services can continue to operate anyway, anytime for anyone.

Someone reaches out to Lifeline via phone, text and online chat every 24 seconds and with your help, we can ensure someone is there to listen, without judgement 24/7.

Please support my fundraising today because every donation, no matter the amount, can make a difference to ensure that no one must have their toughest moments alone.

Together, we can help change lives.

Thank you for your support!

My Marathon Journey

This will be marathon attempt number 3

Number 1- I collapsed at 32km on the Gold Coast and woke up in GC hospital

Number 2 - I completed Canberra Marathon 3 years later with Planter Fascia in both feet I hobbled the whole way in a slow 4hrs 39mins

Number 3 - I’m hoping to be injury free and complete feeling strong.

 Unfortunately I know too many people who have tragically taken their own life and lifeline holds a special place close to my heart as they have also helped me in recent times when I’ve needed someone to talk to.

Any support is greatly appreciated and goes a long way 🙏

Thank you to my Sponsors
