2026 March On Challenge

🎗️ Why I’m Doing March On

I’m a veteran — I’ve sat with mates in their darkest moments, supported those struggling, and farewelled too many at funerals.
This March, I’m walking 96km because it represents the length of the Kokoda Track — a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and the relentless spirit of those who served.

I’m walking for those we’ve lost.
For those still fighting.
And for myself — to keep moving, keep living, and to show that none of us walk this alone.

We march on. Together. 💚🥾

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.
