Sophie Gates

Sophie's quest!

I did something silly. On a whim last Thursday, I decided to sign up to complete 1654 pushups across 24 days with no prior training. 

Why?

Because last year over 3000 Australians lost their lives to suicide. This number is way too high, and I, like too many people, know friends and colleagues who have been personally affected by this. 

Also, John at work has raised $700 already and I am fiercely competitive. 

Lifeline offers crisis counselling to those who need it most. If you can, please donate please help those who help support those most in need of mental health support. 

As an extra little incentive , I'll send you a doodle my yours truly or one of my favourite nature pics if you make a donation.

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.

Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.

Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.

By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.
