Richard has been charging head on with the training and fitness to take on the challenge all to raise money for "Mates in Construction" suicide prevention in the construction industry .

Richard said "I am looking forward to completing the 96 klm trek in 6 to 7 days. it was not something that I had on my bucket list but when the opportunity arose to take part in this and help raise money and suicide awareness for Mates in Construction I jumped at the chance".

Richo heads off at 7.30am Friday the 7th Sept to follow in the foot step of our brave soldiers that died defending New Guinea during WW2.
