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.
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:

176
peer support
sessions

105
employment
support

9
psychology
sessions
...to support the mental health of our brave veterans to help them march on.

Great job Ian. I did this last year and it was very rewarding. I am planning to do the real life version in 2026. Be good to your feet is my best advice for March!
