2026 March On Challenge

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:

66

peer support
sessions

63

employment
support

3

psychology
sessions

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

My Kokoda Track Journey

So far, I have marched:

145km

13kms until I reach Return to Minari

My goal to Kokoda and back:

192km

My Tribute Post

My Grandfather fought on the Kokoda Track, He came home but never really came back 🙏 Metal health diagnosis and treatments have change since Pop came home from Kokoda. Asylums and shock treatments a regular event. I'm marching for Pop and all Veterans for better services and support for families. I will be walking/running 192 KMs = Kokoda and back.
