I’m running 192 kms
Soldier On supports current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families with mental health, employment, education, and community connection.
Transitioning out of the service can be brutal, and too many people are left to carry that load alone. Soldier On makes sure they don’t have to.
Running 192 km, roughly double the Kokoda Track, isn’t about speed or ego. It’s about showing up day after day. Some of those days will just plain suck, and that’s the point.
The funds raised will go directly to Soldier On’s mental health programs, helping prevent veteran suicide and save lives.
Right now, veterans aged 25 to 44 are 2.7 times more at risk of suicide than other Australians. That’s not just a statistic, it’s real people and families who need support.
Soldier On is on the front line, making sure they get it when they need it most.
By donating, or simply sharing this page, you’re showing veterans and their families they are not alone.
Together, we can help them march on.
Thank you for your support.
