Legacy Centenary Relay

Legacy is one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted charities, which provides personalised support and services to the families of veterans of the Australian Defence Force, who have given their lives or health for their country.

It is not widely known, but Legacy also provides support for the families of veterans, even when an ex serving veteran passes, whilst retired from military service.

Legacy was born in the trenches of the Western Front during World War I, as a soldier said to his dying mate “look after the missus and kids”.
This became known as The Promise – and it is still kept today.

As we commemorate Legacy’s Centenary in 2023, CP attended The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay 2023 Launch presented by Defence Health, last week in Brisbane.

To keep the Legacy Promise alive, we ask you to consider joining on this journey towards Legacy’s Centenary as Legacy empowers our veterans’ families to live their best future.

The relay begins on ANZAC Day 25th April 2023 in Pozieres, France. It will then travel to London, England where it will continue its tour throughout Australia.

The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay 2023 is a 6-month campaign to pay homage and acknowledge veterans’ families, saluting their sacrifice.

The torch will travel over 50,000 km, through 100 stops, carried by approx. 1,500 torch bearers.
