2026 March On Challenge

96 kms completed

I happy to say I’ve completed the 96 kms in 2 weeks so I’m raising my target to 192 kms as I still have 2 weeks to go! Over half way to my $1000 target as well, Donation box at the Belmont Tavern where I work is looking healthy as well, wearing the t-shirt I received from Soldier On has helped a lot with people asking questions and then donating either cash into the donation box or using the QScan, biggest donation was $80 from someone I didn’t even know had donated until he told me I was closer to my target!

Donations

After a slow start I’ve managed to get $470 towards my $1000 goal, the donation box at work is looking better, there’s probably at least $100 in that but I’m not gonna count it until the final day

Progress

I’ve walked 54.78 kms this weeks and have now completed 87.4 kms for the fortnight so only 8.6 kms to go to reach the 96 kms which I’ll do today. I believe I’ll double that by the end of March.

Slow start

Only did 32.62 kms this week and so far only raised $116 from four people, however there is a collection box on the bar where I work and as well as a few gold & more silver coins I did see a $20 & $10 when I worked last night!

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:

33

peer support
sessions

32

employment
support

1

psychology
sessions

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