Walk anywhere, anytime. Shine a Light. Change Lives.
This September, Lifeline Geelong South West Victoria invites you to take part in the Out of the Shadows Walk 2026 - a powerful community event held across the nation in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day.
Every day in Australia, we lose 9 lives to suicide. To honour them, we walk 9 kilometres - one for each life lost. While World Suicide Prevention Day is officially on September 10, you’re encouraged to walk anytime, anywhere that works for you.
Join a movement of hope, remembrance, and action. Whether you walk alone, with friends, or as part of a team, you’ll be standing with a community united in the fight to prevent suicide.
Your steps—and your support—can save lives.
Together, we can bring suicide out of the shadows and into the light.
Fundraise for Lifeline Geelong
This is a walk to remember and raise awareness, but if you would like to fundraise to support local crisis support services, please know it will make an impactful difference.
