one step at a time

This March, I’m committing to running 96 kilometres in support of Soldier On — an organisation that supports our current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families.

96km isn’t just a random number. It’s a commitment. It’s showing up on the days you don’t feel like it. It’s running through the mental battles, the early mornings, the sore legs, and the moments where quitting would be easier.

Because for many veterans, the battles don’t end when the uniform comes off.

As someone who has seen firsthand the pressures that service life can place on mental health, identity, and transition into civilian life, this cause hits close to home. The strength required to serve is immense — but the strength required to ask for support afterwards can be even greater.

Soldier On provides life-changing programs focused on mental health support, employment, education, and community connection. They help veterans and their families build meaningful futures beyond service.

This 96km is my small way of standing beside those who have stood for our country.

Every kilometre will represent:

• Resilience
• Courage
• The power of community
• And the reminder that no one should fight their battles alone

If you’re able to donate — no matter how small — it will go directly towards supporting veterans and their families through practical, tangible programs that make a real difference.

If you can’t donate, sharing this or cheering me on throughout March means just as much.

Let’s run with purpose.

Let’s run for those who have carried more than most of us will ever understand.

Thank you for your support 🤍
