A Teenager’s ANZAC Day Walk
A 15 year old will commemorate ANZAC Day by walking from the Mulwala RSL Dawn Service to the Bundalong Tavern, in full military kit, to raise money and awareness for veterans.
Jack Mcqualter-Whyte was inspired to play a part in supporting returned service men and women after learning about their struggles.
“I was looking at statistics behind our veterans who returned home from Afghanistan and other places suffering from PTSD, and thought it was pretty bad numbers and thought it would be a good thing to go out there and support them,” Jack told Kylie and Kev.
