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.
Starting out on the March 28th, I will be walking the 96km from the Cranbrook War Memorial to the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial in Albany, stopping at Mt Barker War Memorial, Albany War Memorial and Anzac Peace Park to @highlight Soldier On Australia’s mental health services and programs to help prevent veteran suicide and save lives.
I’ll do the walking, you do the donating,
For those playing along at home, 96km is the length of the Kokoda Trail.
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:

315
peer support
sessions

189
employment
support

16
psychology
sessions
...to support the mental health of our brave veterans to help them march on.
