Update - Walk started 6/11/2025, 720kms completed! Finishing on Saturday 20th December at Walhalla.

Hey! My name's Don and I'm embarking on a hike along the Australian Alps Walking Trail (AAWT). This is a 720km walk, going South Bound, from Canberra to Walhalla in Victoria. I'll be doing this solo.

Why?

It's a challenge, just like health issues can be a challenge. I'm doing this to challenge myself and raise awareness about mental health and cancer in the community.

How can you help?

All donations received will be distributed evenly between:

Any donation, no matter how small is very welcome.

My suggestion is to donate an amount for the kilometres you think I'll achieve, perhaps 10c per km. If you think I can make the entire 720 km, that would be a total of $72.00.

If you can afford to donate more, that's great, but I would prefer if you spread the word and encourage other people to donate instead. This helps to raise awareness and get the word out there about these great charities.

Words of encouragement are always welcome too :)

My Progress

I plan to update this page as I progress on my hike (access to internet dependent, of course).

Thank you

I appreciate every donation!

Even if you can't donate, I'm glad I reached you. Just by sharing my link you can help raise awareness and allow others to donate to these causes that mean a lot to me.
