Walk for Awareness
Each year, people all over the world get together to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, for Brisbane man Wesley Vasile, New Year’s Day 2011 was when he lost Christian, one of his closest friends, to suicide.
Wesley was away in Mexico when he heard the news. Returning home to Brisbane for the funeral in January, he vividly remembers seeing another good friend, David, with whom he exchanged hugs, tears, and memories of their friend.
Three months later, David also took his own life. This heartbreaking experience led Wesley and his brother, Tudor, to create the Walk for Awareness, a community event aimed at breaking the silence surrounding suicide and mental health.
The Walk for Awareness brings people together in a supportive and open environment, encouraging conversations that can save lives. Today, the Mental Awareness Foundation continues to grow through this event, uniting people to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and inspire hope.
