2026 March On Challenge

3rd checkpoint acheived!

Whoo, halfway point! Time is going fast, I am keeping up pretty well 😊 Templeton's crossing complete, onwards to Eora Creek

2nd checkpoint!

I made the second checkpoint, it has been slow going, but getting there! I think the hardest part is remembering to log my times! I have been pretty busy this month, but I am still determined to do as much as I can to help my friends and family Veterans. They deserve it!

1st checkpoint achieved!

So far so good! It has been a busy week on our little farm, so not a lot of time for a big walk. I will try to get some extra km's in over the weekend, but I am still proud I have managed to keep fairly on track regardless. We had a lovely meet up with one of our Veterans in the community today that I have a great fondness and respect for and I sincerely hope by raising awareness of the struggles our ex serving members face it will help people like him and his family live a peaceful life into the future. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to participate in this challenge, and I appreciate all of your wonderful support for a great cause! ☺️👋

Rest well

Heading to sleep, hopefully to rest well for the first day of the March on Challenge tomorrow 😴 I will do my best to keep updating regularly for my supporters and Thankyou so much for showing your Love and support, both for me and a great cause! ☺️

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:

8

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