I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK? In memory of Loz

This year I’m taking part in K’s for R U OK? because it's something deeply personal to me.

Suicide prevention isn’t just a cause I’ve chosen to support; it’s a reality that has touched my life in profound ways. I’ve experienced depression myself and I understand how dark and isolating those moments can feel. I’ve also lost people I care about to suicide, including my beautiful best friend, Loz, in 2023.

🌟 About Loz
Loz wasn’t just a friend she was my safe place, my sounding board, my ride-or-die. She had the brightest smile, the quirkiest sense of humour, and an incredible way of lighting up any room she walked into. She was funny, warm, and had a gift for making people feel truly seen.

Even on her hardest days, Loz cared so deeply for others. That’s what breaks my heart the most: that someone so full of light could be hurting so much inside. Losing her has been devastating, and it’s something I carry with me every day.

💛 Why I’m Walking
Every kilometre I walk is for Loz. It’s for every person who never found their way back to hope, and for those who are still here, fighting quietly and bravely.

I’m raising funds to support suicide prevention programs because they save lives. They offer understanding, connection, and tools to help people make it through another day. They support families and friends, too.

🤝 How You Can Help
You can join my team and walk alongside me, or, if you’re able, please consider donating to my fundraising page. Every dollar goes toward services that make a real difference, helping to ensure fewer families go through what Loz’s loved ones have endured.

If you’re not in a position to donate, you can still help by sharing this post, starting a conversation, and checking in on the people around you. Sometimes a simple “Are you OK?” can open a door.

🕊️ In Memory of Loz
I’ll never stop missing Loz. But I can honour her memory by working toward a world where fewer lives are lost to suicide, where it’s safe to ask for help, and where no one feels alone.

This is for you, Loz. Love always 💛

Sprain has me out

Saturday 4th Oct
Unfortunately on day 2 I sprained my ankle pretty badly and I'm unable to walk, so Moey is going to be picking up my K's for a little while. Hopefully I'll be on the mend soon, and able to finish out the month doing my own K's.
