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:

111

peer support
sessions

106

employment
support

6

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:

34km

1km until I reach Menari

My goal to Kokoda:

96km

My Tribute Post

I served 37 years in the RAN, and several colleagues committed suicide during that time. I volunteer with Legacy and we see families struggling following the suicide of their loved ones. As an 80 YO I felt by taking on the MarchOn challenge I could contribute in a small way to Soldier On's valuable work in turning the tide against suicides amongst our amazing Veteran community.
