Cancer is my driving force to complete the March on challenge.
Coming up to my 6 year anniversary of a stage 4 diagnosis has me feeling so grateful for every day, so grateful for all the support I have from family and friends. The realisation that I can help our soldiers by pushing myself to complete the March on challenge ( the distance of Kokoda trail)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:
160
peer support
sessions
152
employment
support
9
psychology
sessions
...to support the mental health of our brave veterans to help them march on.
My Kokoda Track Journey

I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of you. Running 96km to raise money for soldiers who’ve fought for our country is already an amazing thing — but doing it while battling stage 4 cancer for the past six years takes a level of strength most people couldn’t even imagine. You’re not just raising money — you’re raising awareness, hope, and showing everyone what real courage looks like. The resilience you’ve shown in your own fight, and now using that same strength to give back to others, is seriously inspiring. No matter what happens on that run, you’ve already won in my eyes. You’re an absolute warrior. Knock em dead Mandy 💪❤️👍
