About
Support our team and empower local youth!
My team and I are doing the Kokoda Challenge this year! One of Australia’s toughest events and that's right, I’ve confidently signed myself up to walk a distance (30km) that absolutely no normal person would describe as “normal”. I’m raising funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation, an organisation that genuinely changes young people’s lives through programs built on the values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice.
While I’m out there training, sweating, and questioning my life choices on every uphill section, I’m also thinking about the young people who benefit from this support. That’s what keeps me going. But here’s the truth: I can’t do this alone. I can walk the kilometres, I can push through the blisters, I can mentally bargain with every muscle in my body but the fundraising part? That’s where I need the legends in my life to step up. Your donation directly fuels these life-changing programs and yes, it also saves me from stressing out because if I don't get a certain amount of money my team cant participate in this challenge.
Be the person who gets to say, “Yep, I helped Melissa do that wild Kokoda challenge and I helped change a young person’s future while I was at it.” It’s a win for them, a win for me, and a win for each and every one of us.
