2026 March On Challenge

Day 2 perth to bunbury

Tough night walking. Had a slight miscalculation on the distance and ran out of water with still a way to go. Body seized when I arrived at the destination. Refueled and feeling better

Perth to bunbury

Left the RSL in Perth last night at 5pm. Walked 46 kms close to 11 hours Today resting up watch what the weather and waiting for the body to recover.

Support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and save lives

After walking solo across Australia in 2019 raising awareness for suicide prevention and our mental health I’m off again this time walking from Bunbury to Perth to support the veterans of Australia. 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:

132

peer support
sessions

126

employment
support

7

psychology
sessions

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

My Kokoda Track Journey

So far, I have marched:

93km

3kms until I have conquered the length of the Kokoda Track!

My goal to Kokoda:

176km

My Tribute Post

Dno

I'm proud to join forces with Soldier On - March On, an initiative dedicated to supporting Australia's brave veterans. Under my flag of Hope, I'm honored to carry the names of 4 veterans who embody resilience, alongside over 500 others who have tragically lost their lives to suicide. This challenge is dedicated to them, and to every veteran who has served with courage and dedication.
