Help our Patron of March On, as he sets himself the challenge of walking 96km and raising $10,000 to support our modern-day service personnel and their families.
Donate now to help Bert reach his fundraising target.
At 101 years young, Bert Le-Merton is a true living legend. His bravery and sacrifice during World War 2 is admirable to say the least, all in the name of defending our “sunburnt country, and land of sweeping plains”.
His family have followed suit, with his children and grandchildren also defending our nation and communities on the frontline. It is clear that his passion for supporting our current and future generation of veterans and their families is close to his heart – and this is why he has chosen to invite you on this journey to support March On with Soldier On.
Can you keep up with Sergeant Bert?
He is as fit as a fiddle, with his daily walking habit being the secret, he says, to a long and healthy life.
“If I can do it, you can too… so get up off your saddle and March On with me to support our veterans.”

Hi Bert... I have been checking to see how you are doing and I donated to your amazing cause when it was at 57 donors... So I was number 58. Now I see the number is 558 people have contributed which is so lovely. Thought a couple more dollars would help. As a proud daughter of WW11 RAAF Veteran who is 93 but I think you would beat him in a race. I just wanted to say thank you once again.
