2025 March On Challenge

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:

124

peer support
sessions

74

employment
support

6

psychology
sessions

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

My Kokoda Track Journey

My Tribute Post

Bill Dobson

I am walking for my grandfather WW1 and father WW2 plus an uncle held prisoner in Changi and an uncle that served in PNG, plus my mates that I served with in Vietnam that didn’t make it home and the vets that have suffered every day since. Honour the dead, and provide welfare for the living
