YouTube Description
as posted by the channelZoe and David Strickland lost their son, Elliot, to suicide last year. He was 25 years old, in his third year studying electrical engineering and had returned home to Cairns during uni break. The family had a lovely evening out together, had plans for the weekend and had no inkling Elliot would take his life a few hours later. Through their terrible pain and grief, the Stricklands are trying to make a difference by encouraging people to decorate their local bike path with beautiful messages and drawings in chalk aimed at killing the stigma around suicide.
