At the Starting Line

Welcome to the first episode of Run Ashore, a podcast for the Bravery Trek fundraiser for Bravery Trust in partnership with contentgroup. Bravery Trek celebrates the service of Australian veterans, specifically those who serve and have served during modern warfare – and raises vital funds to support veterans injured during service when they face hardship. The Trek provides funding for food vouchers, housing, motor vehicle and medical expenses when veterans who have been injured, or sustained illness during service, fall on hard times. 70% of veterans who receive support from Bravery Trust are aged 50 years or younger. 2022's Trek is themed around the Royal Australian Navy and this series will follow the virtual route around Sydney Harbour which incorporates key Naval bases and sites of historical significance. In our first episode, host, CEO of contentgroup, David Pembroke welcomes CEO of Bravery Trust, Belinda Wilson, and Hon Matt Keogh MP, the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel. The trio discuss this year's Bravery Trek event and why getting out and about to support our Veterans is so important.
