Total amount

My chart indicates I have completed 56.9 Kilometres.

My virtual walk sheet is indicating I have completed 74 Kilo's., my chart indicates I have completed 56.9 kilo's. My health has slowed me down but I am still 16.6 kilo's ahead of the daily average I need to complete the challenge. Interestingly I am virtually close to Templeton's Crossing and I am currently reading a Shot Of History Book 'Kokoda Legend Captain Sam Templeton' Unfortunately I still need to return to hospital for a small procedure on Thursday 26 March but I am VERY confident I will complete the challenge. SO, if you want to sponsor my efforts you can still donate at: https://www.marchonchallenge.org.au/fundraisers/billbates/virtual26

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:

36

peer support
sessions

35

employment
support

2

psychology
sessions

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