March on with soldier on – day 7: finding motivation when it feels lost

It’s day 7 of March On with Soldier On, and I’ll be honest—today has been tough. The excitement of starting this challenge has faded a little, and the motivation I had at the beginning feels like it’s slipping away. My legs are sore, the routine is getting harder, and the finish line still feels a long way off. But here’s the thing about challenges like this—they aren’t just about the easy days. They’re about pushing through when it gets hard. The true test isn’t how strong you start, but how you keep going when motivation runs low. So today, I remind myself why I started. I started because this cause matters. Because there are veterans who have faced struggles far greater than a tough training session or a lack of motivation. Because every step I take is a small way to give back to those who have served. I started because I want to prove to myself that I can do this. That when the going gets tough, I don’t quit—I keep marching forward. If you’re feeling the same struggle today, just take the next step. Don’t think about tomorrow, don’t focus on the distance ahead—just take one step forward. That’s all it takes to keep moving. Tomorrow is a new day, and with it comes a new chance to push forward. But for now, I march on. #MarchOn #SoldierOn #KeepGoing

March on with soldier on – day 3: pushing through the pain

Day 3 of the March On With Soldier On challenge is here, and the journey is starting to take its toll. The initial excitement of stepping off on Day 1 has settled, and now it’s all about endurance, resilience, and pushing through. The Challenge Becomes Real For many of us, today is when the reality of the challenge kicks in. Muscles are starting to ache, blisters might be forming, and the kilometres feel longer than they did on Day 1. This is the point where the mental battle begins—where commitment and purpose have to outweigh discomfort and fatigue. But that’s exactly why we’re doing this. Every step we take is a tribute to our veterans, a reminder of their resilience, and a way to support those still fighting battles we cannot see. Keeping the Momentum As we move forward, it’s crucial to manage our pace, listen to our bodies, and stay motivated. Here are some tips to keep going: • Stretch and recover: Don’t skip the cooldown! A few minutes of stretching can prevent injuries and keep you moving strong. • Hydration is key: Even if the weather is cool, keep drinking water. Dehydration leads to fatigue and muscle cramps. • Mind over matter: Focus on why you’re marching. Whether it’s for a mate, a family member, or just to make a difference, hold onto that purpose. • Break it down: If the distance feels overwhelming, take it one kilometre at a time. Small goals lead to big achievements. A Cause Worth Fighting For Soldier On provides crucial support to veterans and their families, helping them transition to civilian life, access mental health services, and find new opportunities. Every donation, every step, and every conversation we spark through this challenge makes a difference. Let’s Keep Marching! If today feels tough, remember—you are not alone. Thousands of people across the country are marching alongside you, all for the same cause. So, lace up, dig deep, and push forward. One step at a time, one day at a time. We’ve got this. How’s your March On challenge going? Share your progress and inspire others to keep moving! #MarchOn #SoldierOn #VeteransSupport

First day of the march on fundraising challenge

Today marks the start of my March On Fundraising Challenge, and I’m ready to push myself for a great cause. This challenge isn’t just about getting active—it’s about making a difference, raising awareness, and showing support for those who need it most. Why I’m Doing This I’ve taken on this challenge because I believe in the cause and want to do my part to help. Fundraising isn’t just about donating money—it’s about coming together, sharing stories, and making a real impact. Every step I take is a step toward positive change. Day One: Getting Started Starting something new is always a mix of excitement and nerves, but I’m diving in with full commitment. Today’s goal was to get moving, set the pace, and remind myself why I signed up in the first place. I laced up my shoes, hit the ground running (or walking!), and embraced the challenge ahead. The first day is always about finding my rhythm and setting small goals to stay motivated. It’s not just about distance or speed—it’s about consistency and determination. Support Means Everything Fundraising is a team effort, and I’m grateful for every bit of encouragement along the way. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or a simple message of support, it all helps keep the momentum going. What’s Next? This is just the beginning. Over the coming days, I’ll be pushing myself further, tracking my progress, and keeping everyone updated. If you’d like to support my journey, whether by donating or just cheering me on, it would mean the world to me! Let’s make every step count. Marching on, one day at a time!
