2026 March On Challenge

Day 18

I was determined this morning to make it to the end of the Kokoda Track and I did it 🎉 Will now turn around and head back to where it all began.

Day 17

Bit of a rest day today, doing paperwork and packing the van, nearly ready to hit the road again. tomorrow I will aim to hit the end of the 96km track then I won’t give up, I will turn around and try to get 192km for the month. thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way.

Day 15&16

Yesterday was a casual stroll around a friends property and this morning I hit the river trail, was aiming for 10km but fell short.

Day 14

Bit of a weird day today, had a few jobs in ambulance, got back to where I am looking after a friends dog, works out that 14 laps around her property is 3.8km.

Day 13

Where I am at along the track

Day 13

Didn’t feel like venturing too far today but still managed 7km which brings me to EORA Creek on the Kokoda Track. Will be a challenge between tonight and Monday to get any big walks in as I am on call until Monday morning. Will do lots of little walks and add them up at the end of the day.

Day 12

I am so excited today. between and Easter egg raffle, cash donations and double day by fundraising target just got smashed. I cant thank you all enough. off for a walk now.

Day 11

Up bright and early today after a 3.15am ambulance job. Figured I was up so may as well get walking done early. Selling Easter egg raffle tickets today to boost the $’s.

Day 9

Laps around the bush at footy oval and trotting tracks. Beautiful sky this morning and even got to see these two magnificent horses training.

Day 8

Lovely stroll along the Blackwood river again today. nearly half way through the kms, guess when I get to the end of the track I will turn around and head for the start again.

Day 7

Beautiful early start to the day. Forgot how beautiful the old Abitiot walk is.

Day 6

Headed to Bunbury as Hubby had some surgery today. While in the operating theatre I went for a beaut beach walk, even managed to see a few dolphins.

Day 5

Extemely slow walk today. Trip to the chiro for a sore back, no strenuous activity today so just a little stroll. Bunbury beach walk tomorrow.

Day 4

Brought to you by the magnificent Blackwood River. It’s hard to imagine what our soldiers went through on the Kokoda Track and the nightmares would be unimaginable. We truly are blessed

Day 3

What a mixed day, have been on ambulance duty all day but managed to get 3.8km before my 6am shift started and did just over 2km this arvo. Day off tomorrow, might head for a bush walk.

Day 2

Beautiful walk along the Blackwood river. the new pathway is great, no more potholes.

Day 1

4.7 km today, can’t say it didn’t hurt with a broken toe but our soldiers certainly carried on along the Kokoda trail with far worse than a broken toe.

Tomorrow the day

Tomorrow I start the challenge and a challenge it shall be, I broke my toe yesterday so it looks like I will be walking in thongs lol typical Sheryl, don’t do things by halves

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:

77

peer support
sessions

73

employment
support

4

psychology
sessions

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

My Kokoda Track Journey
