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:

17

peer support
sessions

16

employment
support

0

psychology
sessions

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

My Tribute Post

Simon Ridley

Just want to thank everyone who has stepped up and served our country. I was born on the Isle of Man. My mum and dad came here for a better life. I wanted to be a soldier after I watched an ANZAC Day parade in Gladstone in the early 80s. I joined 15 Oct 1985. But I also want to honour our fallen.

Good luck Rids. Thanks for all the help getting my house ready for my mum and dad. Also for removing over 900 feral goats to good homes. Oh and yes for my new ducks. Your hard work was greatly appreciated.
