2025 March On Challenge

Keep on plodding on

10.56km today - very slow - the double up email hit me about half way round - so motivating - this is all about those doing it tougher than most

Plod with the peeps

met up with fellow March on Challenge participants tonight for a very gentle plod along the Geelong waterfront - a privilege to share time with like minded peeps

A couple more to go

9.2km afternoon plod today - the end is in sight - I remind myself everyday I’m doing this so no-one need feel alone

Just hangin in

12.8km today - very slow but still one foot in front of the other and still moving forward

Not far now

only a few more kilometres and this trek will be done - great walking with such a diverse and supportive community - together we are stronger

A different perspective today

todays 10km was thought provoking

Path to where?

you never know where this path is heading - so I just keep plodding along

Just around the corner

9.97km today - felt so much easier without the rain

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:

136

peer support
sessions

81

employment
support

7

psychology
sessions

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