2026 March On Challenge

Finishing at the pub!

I finished my 96km at a fundraising event at the Millaa Millaa pub organised by the Lions Club!

Sunshine

Lovely afternoon for a couple of laps around Millaa Millaa!

Mungalli falls

Today’s walk included Mungalli Falls, as well as the usual roads and trails…

Misty millaa millaa

Today I did a lap around Millaa Millaa, including the lovely Harold West Walk and the beautiful Golf Course!

Treadmill

Today’s walk was done on a treadmill as part of my weekly exercise physiology session with Andrew Compton at Better Health Matters in Malanda.

Connection glitch

Thunder clouds and rain zapped my automatic session logging, so I have had to enter it manually…

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:

144

peer support
sessions

137

employment
support

8

psychology
sessions

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