2026 March On Challenge

The more i walk the easier it’s getting

The first few kms really hurt but the more I do the easier it’s getting the Mrs come along for the walk with the oxygen bottle lol

Doing this in the memory of my best freind

Don was my best friend not long after we met in 1985 at our recruit course any way after we discharged don had to move back to the USA as his father passed away and run his earthmoving business we spoke on the phone 5 or 6 times a week my three daughters called him uncle and used to speak to him regularly as well but Tuesday night he called and it was a funny conversation and at the end of the call don said can your daughters call me uncle I said thay have been since thay where old enough to talk don said that’s nice mate I’ll catch you later me not thinking anything of it untill I receive a phone call 2 days dater that don had taken his own life I can’t explain how I felt but it stuffed me up for many years and still plays on my mind what could I have done to stop it but I still have know answers anyway ladies and gents this is my first year doing this and I hope I can make a little different to help another brother or sister cheers.

Walking while i’m at work

I’m a truck driver who travels from Sydney to Darwin every week we have 2 drivers in the truck so the other will fellow me so I can clock up the kms and don’t get hit by a car.

Support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and save lives

Right now in Australia, at 42%, suicide is the leading cause of death for ex-serving males aged under 30 years old.

So, this March, I am walking to support Soldier On's mental health services and programs to help prevent veteran suicide and save lives.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my challenge so that we can show veterans and their families that they are not alone... we stand strong with them.

Together, let's help our heroes march on.

Thanks so much for your support.

So far, I have helped provide:

126

peer support
sessions

120

employment
support

7

psychology
sessions

...to support the mental health of our brave veterans to help them march on.
