Steps For Sammy
Nine months ago, our world changed forever when we lost our beautiful son Sam. Sam was a gifted young artist whose life was cut short by his battle with mental health. He was, and is, deeply loved, and his creativity touched many.
In the midst of our heartbreak and deep grief, we are choosing to walk forward with purpose, love and hope.
On Saturday, 18 October, our family and friends will come together for a special walk in memory of Sam. We are walking to honour Sam and to shine a light on the urgent youth mental health crisis in Australia. It will be a chance to come together in compassion, connection and remembrance and an opportunity to walk past some of Sam's street art and the work of other creatives who, like him, expressed themselves on our city's walls.
We will meet at 1 pm at Yarra Bank Reserve, Hawthorn (off Creswick St) for a relaxed 10km walk, before returning to the reserve for a BBQ.
If you can't join us on the 18th, please assist by walking before, on or after the 18th.
By joining us, or by supporting the cause through donation, you'll be helping the Black Dog Institute continue its vital work in youth mental health research, prevention and support.
We will walk for Sam.
