“Soldier On is about Australians coming
together to show their support for our
physically and psychologically wounded – we
will always have their backs. It’s about
giving those who have served our country
the dignity they deserve and the chance to
do and be whatever they choose. The Soldier
On Triathlon is a beautiful demonstration of
our vision for our wounded, thank you.”
John Bale, Co-founder Soldier On
The inaugural Soldier On
Triathlon will draw participants
and spectators to the Afghanistan
Avenue of Honour memorial to
help raise funds for our wounded
warriors and awareness of the
Soldier On Organisation
