As a veteran who served 34 years in the Royal Navy and now works closely with the ADF and Australian veterans on a daily basis, I understand how important this cause is. I am proud to be able to do my small part to help the mental health needs of our veterans.

I’m marching to honour my Grandfather, my uncle who served in many conflicts and for my amazing husband who is an Australian Army Veteran and served through many conflicts overseas. We thank you everyday for your sacrifice.

Trevor
As a navy veteran I’ve lost a few close friends to suicide I march for them every year not only with this but on Anzac Day. I also do this to remember my grandfather who served in several wars during his time in service.
