2026 March On Challenge

The March Beyond the Event

After the March On Melbourne event in Altona, one thing has stayed with me — a reminder that the challenge doesn’t end when the crowd goes home.

If anything, that’s when the real march begins.

Events give us connection, purpose, and community.
But just as important are the quieter days that follow — the days where we keep showing up, step after step, even when no one’s watching.

Because for many veterans, that’s exactly what their journey looks like:

Quiet resilience.
Daily battles.
Silent courage.

March On isn’t a one‑day event — it’s a commitment.

A commitment to those still fighting unseen battles.
To the families carrying heavy loads.
To honouring those we’ve lost — every day, every kilometre.

Why i'm stepping forward

This year, I’m taking on the Soldier On – March On Challenge to honour the mates, memories, and the quiet battles that continue long after service ends. You matter. Your service mattered. And your battles are not yours to carry alone.The challenge keeps mateship burning like an undying ember — a reminder that standing side by side is something we never stop doing,in or out of uniform.Every kilometre I walk is for those who served,those still fighting in silence,and those we’ll never forget.If you can follow along, share, or support the cause in any way, it means more than you know. Marching on. For them. For all of us. 💙

So far, I have helped provide:

My Tribute Post

Justin Gallop

Service lingers in memory and in the quiet battles carried long after the uniform is set aside. The ‘We Salute You Wall’ is a testament that our veterans are seen, honoured, and never forgotten, keeping mateship burning like an undying ember and honouring all who served.
