96 Kilometers for Hope: Honoring Our Veterans One Step at a Time

This March, I’m embarking on a 96-kilometer challenge, fueled not by personal ambition, but by a deep respect for the men and women who have served our country. These brave individuals have sacrificed so much for our freedom, and now, many of them face a silent battle – the fight against their own demons.

The statistics are heartbreaking: veterans are 2.2 times more likely to die by suicide than other members of our community. That’s 2.2 times too many of our heroes lost to an invisible war.

But there’s hope. Organizations like Soldier On are on the frontlines, providing life-changing mental health services to veterans struggling with the invisible wounds of war. Every dollar raised goes towards critical programs that help them heal, recover, and find their way back to civilian life.

But I can’t do it alone. I need your support.

By donating to my fundraising page, you’re not just supporting me – you’re investing in the future of our veterans. You’re helping Soldier On provide them with the critical resources they need to overcome their challenges, rebuild their lives, and march on to brighter tomorrows.

Together, we can make a difference.

Please visit my fundraising page and donate whatever you can: https://www.marchonchallenge.org.au/fundraisers/michaelwignall

Every dollar counts.

Thank you for your support. Let’s walk alongside our veterans, not just in March, but every day.
