An injury

The Kokoda Trail, a pathway that snaked through the dense, mountainous and nearly impenetrable jungle of Papua New Guinea, was to become the scene of one of the most well-known campaigns of Australian military history.
On the 21st of July 1942 forces of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) landed at Gona. Over the next four months, Australian soldiers would twice traverse the Kokoda Trail.
625 Australian soldiers were killed during the Kokoda Campaign, and over 1,600 wounded. Additionally, in excess of 4,000 soldiers became casualties due to illness.
To honor these heroes, SOLDIER ON, thru their March On Challenge raises funds for veterans each year.
I signed up again this year to walk the 96km and raise funds, however...i had a bad fall (ironically on the AAFC parade ground) and cant walk, so my main aim now is to raise funds.
PLEASE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO DONATE TO AN AMAZING CAUSE, Together, we will help prevent veteran suicide and save lives.

4 days till the start!

Well, there's 4 days to go & after a weekend of Firearms training, I realise this challenge may prove more of a challenge than first imagined. 

Support My Challenge to Save Lives.

This March, I am conquering 96km to support Soldier On's life-saving mental health services to help our brave veterans and their families.

Why 96km? Because I'm taking on the length of the Kokoda Track to honour the courage and sacrifice of our veterans, both past and present.

Please support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and help save lives.

Together, we can help our heroes march on.

Thanks so much for your support.

So far this year, I have helped provide:

45

peer support
sessions

27

employment
support

2

psychology
sessions

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