Coming to the end!

MarchOn is coming to an end, jump onboard and get your tickets to nothing today! A fantastic course looking after any & many nationalities under the ADF banner (Australian Defence Force). The late Pilbara wet season is hanging on but we’re managing a few clicks.. Saturday morning by far my slowest 3km’s in history, the jaw got the solid workout, Monday I opened my gob and said I’ll push up “The Hill” for my 100th km..🤦‍♂️
Held to it, off we went, approx 250m (could be talking myself down, might be 251.. or 2!) with an elevation of 21m it was game on, good old Indra using his verbal encouragement- “common you little bit#h” and Buddog panting next to me, we got the task done.
101 clicks in 23 outings - most achieved after work in the dark when cooler but still mid 30's.
A massive thanks to the new sponsors!
A huge $526 bucks from the anonymous #1 Rum drinker in TP!
Zane Duce - Met him on the Marchon channel bumped us over 4k donating $221!

Massive effort thank you!
Haven't stopped rolling, still a few days to go - currently sitting at 105k's and a whopping $4844!!
Rain hold off, let's see 110ks or more 🤔
Link in comments- thanks for Rollllling on.

Hmm around the 16-19 March

We are making strides, 76k's down 24 to roll! Friday, I took my second day off from pushing month to date, swapped laps for beers, you wouldn't believe which one's easier! Sat morning, new day let's go, up at 0430 getting ready to roll - except today I traded the chair for my hand bike, Indra and I hit the road early peddling the deadly treadly 16.5k's around the outskirts battling some hills and thrashing new muscles! At this stage I'm not adding these K's to the total, I want to achieve the 100 clicks by pushing them. So, Sunday the funny commences again. A massive thanks for all the support over the last few days, huge efforts!
Blue Diamond a whooping 500 bucks!
Bel Chatwin & The Porters - both 221 bucks!

A big thanks to everyone and Indra coming out for an important leg of the journey, no escaping the camera!

Fri 10th - Sun 12th

Made a milestone, so worth a shout out. We’ve clicked over 1K with a target of 1500, not bad!!
Friday, I thought it had all dried up, drier than a… Yeah, you know the rest.. But these legends jumped onboard- David sing, Matt Lynch & Alicia Spurr!
Thank you 🙏 
Friday arvo, I pushed exactly 3k’s (It won’t take much to work out where I was, if you know TP!) but well behaved.
Sat, I left my roll a little late I managed 8.5K and nearly cooking myself  🤣
Sun, awake, half the night, due to a party nearby, the alarm went off at 0430 🤦‍♂️, dressed, 1/2 a cuppa down the throat we were away, 130min later I was home busting for a pee - knocked out 12clicks, hoping for 13 so my grand total wasn’t uneven, it wasn’t going to happen… few swear words may have been used. Total of 59 clicks in 11 pushes.
I’m spent and I am having a frothy this arvo  🍻👊

Sat, Sun, Mon achievements

MarchOn: Finally, a few rolls on the board. Insight of a 10K push I get up at 0430 Sat morning, feeling a little parched from the night before “socialising”, I’m ready to roll. Blimey Charlie it starts bloody raining… cuppa time. Around 0530 we get a break and off I go. 53min later we pumped out 5 clicks. A bit of entertainment this morning, I will never know if the old bloke who rode past me on a Sheila’s bike with a can in his hand lost or found a thong?? He done well, battling the hill with one barefoot peddling the deadly treadly!
On dusk, It’s still 36° and threatening rain around town, I’m risking it for the biscuit. 2.5 k’s into it, the lightning is very close and the smell of rain is evident. Call me the weather man I’m bailing out! Two clicks off my target we managed 3ks, 8 for the day.
Sun/Mon up early back at it managing a 3 and 5 clicker first up this morning.
Massive shout out to the Pilbara gaming hub, Brian, Shaylee for their sponsorship, target of $1500, we now have $500 bucks!

Few pics along the way, rain/rainbow, mates you meet along the way.

Pilbara weather!

4 days in and it’s raining every time I want to go! Up at 4.30am for a 10 clicker, but more rain! 🤦‍♂️
5.30 the weather gods gave us a break, 52 min later I managed a 5k’s pushing my wheelchair 🦽. I’m off target but have put rolls on the board!!

Please support my challenge to prevent veteran suicide and help save lives.

Together, we can help our heroes march on.

Thanks so much for your support.
