The Wandering Warriors arrive in Canberra for the Special Air Service (SAS) Association

THIS morning members of the Australian Special Air Service (SAS) Association charity the Wandering Warriors completed their 1,300km Brisbane to Canberra Mega-challenge.

The Wandering Warriors, supported by soldiers from the Enoggera-based 7th Brigade and Special Operations Command marched up Anzac Parade to the War Memorial with Canberra Liberal leader and former Colonel Jeremy Hanson in tow.

Wandering Warriors CEO Audie Moldre said Wandering Warriors is not focused exclusively on the SAS, Commandos and other Special Forces units.

“We work to raise funds for all wounded, injured and ill Australian Defence Force veterans, and their families, who have suffered as a result of their service.”

Mr Moldre said he believed the Australian Defence Force and Department of Veterans’ Affairs did a world class job of caring for wounded, injured and ill veterans.

“However, for truly effective rehabilitation and transition back to civilian life, veterans’ care needs community input, support and involvement. You can show your support for our veterans by donating, buying merchandise or helping to share our message.”

“Our aim is to “care for the carers”; we do not support veterans directly. We provide a strategic fundraising umbrella for charities that are often too pre-occupied with the carer role to do their own fundraising.

“With the support of corporate Australia and the Australian community, the Wandering Warriors aim to raise badly needed funds for SAS Resources Trust, Commando Welfare Trust, Project Excalibur, White Cloud Foundation, Young Diggers and the Navy Clearance Diver Trust,” he said.
