Support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and save lives
Right now in Australia, veterans aged between 24 - 44 are 2.7 times more at risk of suicide than other members of our community.
So, this March, I am conquering 96km to support Soldier On's mental health services and programs to help prevent veteran suicide and save lives.
Also its a means of motivating me to get myself more mobile as I finish up rehab post me shoulder surgery.
While I'm absolutely on board with the aims of soldier on in terms of young veterans, I would also like to honour my grandfather Arthur Bennett, known to me as "Pa", and so I'll be using this vehicle to tell some "Pa yarns" along the way.
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:
95
peer support
sessions
57
employment
support
5
psychology
sessions
...to support the mental health of our brave veterans to help them march on.
