40 Kilometres for a Cause
Depression affects people across the globe, and tragically, suicide continues to take far too many lives, including young people.
Over the weekend, the Australian Man Cave Support Group and Step into Action Foundation, joined forces to raise awareness and funds for mental health. It was a privilege to join them for the 40 km walk from Parramatta to Penrith.
It was painful and exhausting, but nothing compared to the pain of waking each day under a cloud, struggling with depression and feeling there is nowhere to turn.
The man in the middle is Chris Barton, who walked the incredible 226 km from Newcastle to Penrith. An absolute legend whose determination and commitment to this cause is truly inspiring.
The woman on my right is the incredibly courageous Kelly, who tragically lost her beautiful 12-year-old daughter to suicide. Her story is a heartbreaking reminder of why we must keep talking, listening and supporting those who may be struggling in silence.
A privilege to walk alongside Chris, Kelly and so many others working to turn pain and loss into hope, support and action.
Keep talking. Keep listening. Keep showing up. No one should have to face the darkness alone.
