2026 March On Challenge

Support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and save lives

Right now in Australia, suicide is the leading cause of death for ex-serving males under 30.


This March, I’m walking to support Soldier On’s mental health programs—and I’m doing it in honour of my dad, David Gillesphey, and all the veterans who’ve given so much.


I want to show my dad, and every veteran and their family, that they are not alone. Every step I take is for them, and for the lifesaving support they deserve.


It would mean the world if you could support my walk with a donation. Together, we can stand strong with our heroes and help them march on.


Thank you so much for your support.
