I'm challenging myself to help prevent veteran suicide.

So, I'd love if you could make a donation to Soldier On today so our veterans and their families can receive vital support services to enable them to thrive.

Thank you!

We made it to Darwin!

Sunday 10th Jul
After more than 6,000 kms Darwin was a most welcome sight. I served here at the RAAF base with my naval squadron, 816. We flew reconnaissance flights for refugees. Β We flew up to Darwin in a transport aircraft which only took a day. To get here on a postie bike took two weeks. But it’s been an amazing experience. Thank you to everyone who has donated. We appreciate your help so much. 😎
