Running With Purpose: Veteran Supporting Veterans, Saving Lives
This March, I’m taking on a personal challenge to help prevent veteran suicide and support those who’ve given so much in service to our country. As a former Australian Army soldier who was medically discharged, this cause is incredibly close to my heart. I’ve lived the transition, I understand the struggles many veterans face, and I know how vital it is that no one feels alone after service. Every kilometre I run is dedicated to raising awareness and funds to save lives. I’ll be sharing my training journey, lead-up runs through March, and my full marathon effort at the Gold Coast—so feel free to follow along on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theguy_rey/
and on Strava at https://www.strava.com/athletes/68119254.
If you’re able to donate, your support will directly help veteran suicide prevention and make a real, tangible difference. Together, we can honour service by protecting lives.
Together, let's help our heroes march on.
Thanks so much for your support.
