This March, I am conquering 96km to support Soldier On's life-saving mental health services to help our brave veterans and their families.
Why 96km? Because I'm taking on the length of the Kokoda Track to honour the courage and sacrifice of our veterans, both past and present.
Please support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and help save lives.
Together, we can help our heroes march on.
Thanks so much for your support.
So far this year, I have helped provide:
193
peer support
sessions
115
employment
support
10
psychology
sessions
...to support the mental health of our brave veterans to help them march on.
