2026 March On Challenge

Done and dusted. 97 km complete.

What a journey. I got as much out of this challenge as the veterans will from the kind support of my donors. thanks to everyone who has supported me on this journey.

Just 10ks to go and i’m done and dusted.

This has been thoroughly worth every km. not only have I raised much needed funds I have enjoyed the journey this far. I feel a whole lot better for this experience.

Slow night

Done and dusted 2.0km tonight. slow going with work and rain. went to the gym and got on the tread mill briefly.

Done and dusted that’s 51km to date.

Nearly half way through the month and I’m over half way towards my target of 96km for the month of March. having my walking companion with me makes it more enjoyable.

Chopping down the k’s heading towards 96km.

Getting there with another day done and dusted.

Day 9 done and dusted.

3.5km. took Saturday and Sunday off due to other commitments. back at it today as I missed my walks over those 2 days.

Done and dusted for day 6.

What an adventure

My mate and i completed 5 km tonight.

Keeps me honest and going hard. she could go all day.

Done and dusted day 1. 4.8km

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:

57

peer support
sessions

54

employment
support

3

psychology
sessions

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