Russ Hocking

Support My Challenge to Save Lives.

This March, I am conquering 96km to support Soldier On's life-saving mental health services to help our brave veterans and their families.

Why 96km? Because I'm taking on the length of the Kokoda Track to honour the courage and sacrifice of our veterans, both past and present.

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.

So far this year, I have helped provide:

156

peer support
sessions

93

employment
support

8

psychology
sessions

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

Keep stomping lid! 😂 All jokes aside, good on you mate. In steps of courage, through the dawn, Russ walks the miles, from dusk till morn. Ninety-six kilometers, a tribute so bold, For those who’ve served, stories untold. Each stride a memory, each breath a sigh, For the heroes who marched, under the sky. The Kokoda’s spirit, alive and well, In Russ’s journey, a tale to tell. For mental health, a path he paves, For our veterans, brave and staves. In every step, hope he brings, To hearts that hurt, healing he sings. So let’s join Russ, in spirit and deed, Support his walk, help those in need. For in his march, we find a way, To honor our heroes, every day.
