About

Want to join me in supporting homeless veterans? I'm raising money for Andrew Russell Veteran Living, a program of RSL Care SA which aims to end veteran homelessness. Support my Sandakan Challenge effort to walk 237 kilometres in 16 days between 28 January and 12 February 2025 - the distance and dates of the first group in the first Sandakan Death March in Borneo in 1945, in which 146 prisoners of war died. In total, 2,434 prisoners of war suffered at Sandakan, on the three death marches, and at their destination, and only six survived, so after raising $2,434 during the training phase, one dollar for every prisoner of war, I’ve doubled the target to raise $4,868 by the end of the Challenge. Your contribution, whether it is a little or a lot, will make an impact for homeless veterans. Thank you for your support.

I'm raising funds for
