2026 March On Challenge

Day 6

A leisurely 7km. Alex Heads to Mooloolaba Spit return. Took in the HMAS Brisbane, Korea and Dog memorials.

Day 5

Started with a visit to the Cotton Tree Memorial and finished with 6.5km in the kitty. Cotton Tree to Alex Heads.

Day 4

10km is in the vault. 90 minute slog. Marcoola to Point Arkwright and back. Yeahhhh. Let's goooooo!!!

Day 3

Mudjimba to Pincushion Island today. The mouth of the Maroochy. 8km round trip. Soft sand too, so the pegs are feelin' it. Mt. Coolum to Point Arkwright tomorrow, weather permitting.

Day 2

Another 7km added to the kitty along Marcoola Beach. Weather permitting, I might go north or south tomorrow, to Pt. Arkwright or the mouth of the Maroochy.

Day 1

A dampish kind of start to March, so I stuck to the path and gave Marcoola Beach a miss. Scraped in with my daily minimum required distance, but there'll be much bigger days coming up and I may go for a jog this evening yet. I also hit my funding goal today on DAY 1! March On legends!

Marching on tomorrow

March On is here! Today I did my final test run before the big month. 8km along the beach at Bokarina QLD. Tomorrow marks Day 1 of my 192km commitment to assistance in prevention of veteran suicide. Of the $1045 funding goal, I have so far raised $955, due largely to one awesome donor who pledged over $500. Let's go out and get this. See you on the March!!

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:

70

peer support
sessions

67

employment
support

4

psychology
sessions

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

My Kokoda Track Journey
