1000 Step Ups for Suicide Prevention

  • WE DID IT!!

    I say we because I had atleast 9 people stop in to support during the 1 hour and 56 minutes it took. AND the support of the incredible gym owner, coach and the community at my local gym. Along with countless messages and donations throughout.

    Paiges Mum gifted me a bracelet after the first 100 reps and Paiges son imbued it with his energy with a powerful fist bump 🥺. He also put on a weighted vest and did 20 step ups with me. A friend brought her daughter in to motivate me and helped take photos. Another mate sat next to me giving words of encouragement the whole time. Another friend again put a vest on and did the last 200 step ups with me. We finished to cheers and support from the coaches and people training nearby.

    Its really takes a village. They say this about raising kids but raising ourselves, lifting ourselves up and staying afloat is exactly the same. Lean on your people. They WANT to support you. Let them. Thank you all so much. This one is for you Paige. ✨️

    Thismorning I'll be completing the workout below . . . In Gumboots 🙈.

    I'm already nervous for my calves and my feet and the emotions are already flowing as I read other people's tributes to my dear friend Paige. 🤍

    Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. With over $1500 at last check, that will go towards funding mental health help for our youth in need. Keep it coming. ✨️

  • TOMORROW!!

      9 October 2025

    And just like that, it's been a year tomorrow 🥺. I've been burying my head in the sand this week honestly and avoiding feeling anything.

    I trained Monday and Tuesday then took some time to rest up before 1000 Step Ups happens tomorrow.

    Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. We are so close to $1500. Stay tuned for updates throughout the day tomorrow. ✨️

    Thank you everyone for your donations towards such a desperately needed cause. The support has been a bit overwhelming honestly, so I've poured this anxious energy into training. Just ONE WEEK TO GO!! 📆
