I rise to advise the Senate and honourable senators that the 2024 Walk for a Veteran with PTSD will be held in Adelaide on 27 July. I am a proud patron of this charity where veterans, families and their friends and supporters trek 42 kilometres along South Australia's beautiful coastline. It is not only veterans that are participating in this great event; it is first responders. The money that is raised goes to both veteran and first responder charities. I would like to thank APOD, or Australian Partners of Defence, and their CEO, Paul Broadbridge, for sponsoring the event this year. It will commence at 6 am at the Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club and proceed for about 20 kilometres up the coast and then return back to Seacliff for celebrations. You don't have to do all 42 kilometres. You can do seven, 14, 28 or join me on the 42. Members may be surprised that this will be my seventh time, and for at least five I have done the 42 kilometres. I am in my 50s. So I encourage everyone, no matter what their age, to join us.
