From our Fantastic Community Trekkers and Sponsors

Jonty Bush

Trek2Health Ambassador & 2021 ANZAC Trekker
I’ve worked with first responders – those working in policing, health and paramedics, courts, child protection and disability now for over twenty years. Fortunately, over that time we’ve come a long way in talking about the impact of these roles on the psychology of first responders, in particular the cumulative impact of working in and around trauma. I whole-heartedly support the work of Trek2Health who are breaking down the stigma in relation to help-seeking, while also incorporating another of my passions – spending time with good people in nature.

Raewyn Bailey

Mental Awareness Foundation CEO
The Mental Awareness Foundation is incredibly supportive of Trek2Health and the activities they focus on which encourage taking time for mental health and enjoying the beauty of nature. We admire the work they do to support our frontline workers by providing professional services in a supportive environment.

The military has been an important (and life altering) part of the lives of my loved ones. My father is a Vietnam Veteran. My brother served in the Army Reserves. My Grandfather served in Borneo during World War Two and my Great Uncle served (and survived) Gallipoli. Having multiple generations of my family serving in the armed forces means that this is a cause genuinely close to my heart. I acknowledge all service personnel’s service and sacrifice both past and present: for me, my loved ones, our community, our country and other nations around the world.

As the grand daughter of an ANZAC I was both proud and humbled to be able to complete the Midnight to Dawn ANZAC Service Trek. Stopping to reflect at various memorials throughout the night made this event all the more special. I could not think of a better way to honour GK (my grandad) and the many other men and women who serve(d) in the defence forces. Thank you Trek2health for organising such a well run and respectful event. I sincerely hope there will be others….

As the grand daughter of an ANZAC I was both proud and humbled to be able to complete the Midnight to Dawn ANZAC Service Trek. Stopping to reflect at various memorials tAs a Veteran I found this event to be extremely respectful and very well organised. The walk itself was well laid out and many opportunity’s to visit some of Brisbane’s remembrance shrines and gardens. My fellow walkers were friendly and fun to be around with the combined goal of enjoying the service at the end. hroughout the night made this event all the more special. I could not think of a better way to honour GK (my grandad) and the many other men and women who serve(d) in the defence forces. Thank you Trek2health for organising such a well run and respectful event. I sincerely hope there will be others….

Trek Leader – Midnight to Dawn Anzac Service Trek 2021
To All Midnight to Dawn Anzac Service trekkers, You more than satisfied my expectations about the Australian Anzac community spirit and your attention to our on-trek instruction details were commendable, and of course your consistent good humour throughout the night. Your own senses and commitment to the overall group safety and enjoyment were not unnoticed. Your passions and knowledge and insights about this once in a lifetime experience teaches all of us that without community spirit there nothing left. How kind you all have been with how respectful and sensitive you were to our fund-raising needs and I hope all of your family and friends who supported you were proud of your extraordinary effort in completing a tough trek like we did on the early hours of Anzac day 2021, It is your generosity of spirit which will make our community adventure live forever in these great memories.

T2H, thank you so much for organising such an amazing event as you did today. It was very well planned and executed, and all with our safety as the main priority. It is an absolute credit to you and your team. Your event has really etched itself in my heart.

I was privileged to be part of the group on the inaugural Midnight to Dawn Anzac Trek2Health. The leadership throughout the trek by the Trek2health team and their respect for the anzac spirit and the little touches of the poppies and last post on top of Mt Cootha made this a memorable and moving experience.

Lauren and Dominic

2021 ANZAC Trekker
We participated in the midnight to dawn trek on Anzac Day and had an EPIC time! The entire hike was extremely well planned and well organised. What an opportunity this was to do something out of the ordinary while raising money for such a worthy cause. The service at the top of Mt Cootha was incredibly moving, as was walking into the Dawn Service at The Gap. Completing this hike throughout the night reminded us that the body and mind are incredible and can do amazing things when given the opportunity to do. We were both on a high for days afterwards and we will definitely be back next year.
