Ashley Stokes from Hay has chosen to undertake an amazing walk for the month of September.

"I'm walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis," Ashley said.

Tragically, every year over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life and over 3,000 Australians die by suicide. 

Lifeline receives over one million contacts from people in crisis each year.

Suicide has devastating impact on friends and loved ones.

For World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept 10), Ashley will be taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking for the nine people lost to suicide every day.

Support my walk and sponsor me to help those in crisis - there is no minimum donation amount, and every cent goes to those who need it the most.

Her goal was 63 kilometres for the month, and as of September 23, she has already surpassed this goal, making it to 66 kilometres.

Also as of September 23, she has raised $1,942 so far to answer 49 calls for Lifeline's crisis support hotline to connect and bring hope to people in crisis.

This is a cause very dear to Ashley's heart, and she fervently extols the virtues of the service, as a person's call will be answered quickly - with seconds being pivotal when a person is in their darkest moments.
