Goal to Kokoda

96km

You’ve conquered Kokoda!

Support my 96km challenge to save lives

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

Why 96kms? Because that's the length of the Kokoda Track to symbolise the courage and sacrifice of our service members.

Please March On with me and support my challenge, and together we can save lives.

$37 can fund a peer support session to 3 veterans, giving a safe and supportive space and an important first step in gaining the help they need.

Thanks so much for your support and wish me luck!

In training

Monday 8th Feb
96km in a month sounds a lot to a self-confessed professional cardio-avoider. So, today we leap onto the home treadmill to try a 5km run.......in 3 sections, over 40minutes, with swearing.

Tomorrow, we train again. Maybe less swearing
