Jacob has finished the walk
Jacob has completed his trek at the Starlight Express room at Randwick. He has now completed the walk from Perth to Sydney, covering over 5000 km, and raising well over the initial $50,000 (nearly double that). We wish Jacob all the best, and a massive congratulations on this achievement.
There’s still time to donate, so head over to www.everydayhero.com.au/troopertrek
Gongratulations again, we’ll have the footage from 7′s Sunrise program, and a post from the trooper himself up soon.

Have you seen him?
Want to help promote Jacobs’ journey? We’ve put together an A4 poster “Wanted Poster” available as a pdf for download and printing.
These posters would be great stuck up on noticeboards, inside of shop windows, or anywhere else deemed legal. We don’t promote nor condone the sticking of these on powerpoles and the like!
We’ve even added a QR code on the poster for the tech geeks out there to easily link to this website 
We’d love to see your posters in action, so get in contact with us, and show us your poster in action, by submitting a photo (don’t forget to add your location). Hopefully it will get some attention to help promote this journey.
You can download the have you seen him poster here: Have You Seen Him Poster
A special thanks to Meagan Plaucs photography for the image used in this!
Thanks!

Welcome to TrooperTrek
Thanks for visiting the TrooperTrek website. This site has been setup to track information about Jacobs’ fantastic journey across Australia wearing his StormTrooper armour to raise funds and awareness for the Starlight Foundation.
Hopefully this site will inspire others to achieve their own selfless goals towards helping those in need, and raise a few smiles on the way.
