73 Peaks in 52 Weeks

By Kendal Burke Join Me

Help me make it meaningful

My name is Kendal. I'm a Australian Navy Veteran based in Hobart, Tasmania. On September 20 2026 I'll be tackling the first of 73 peaks in 52 weeks around my home state Tasmania to raise funds for ADF Veteran suicide prevention. 

Head over to my instagram to follow along with the journey! @73peaks_challenge 

The numbers of ADF serving members and ex-serving veterans when compared to the general population of Australia are disproportionately higher!

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year.

That’s why I’m raising funds to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Help me spread the word and give those who are struggling the courage to speak up! It's not weak to speak! 

Please donate now. 

Cheers!

73 Peaks

Saturday 25th Jul
My name is Kendal I'm a Royal Australian Navy Veteran based in Hobart, Tasmania. I know personally what it is like to struggle with both physical and mental health issues as a direct result of my service and that is why on the 20th of September 2026 I'm beginning a journey to raise money and awareness towards ADF Veteran suicide prevention. I will be walking 73 peaks around Tasmania in 52 weeks signifying the 73 Veterans who lost their battle in 2023 and took their own lives. These statistics were released prior to the Royal Commission into ADF Veteran Suicide.
