About
Support our team and empower local youth!
Our team are tackling Australia’s toughest team endurance event, the Kokoda Challenge, and we need your help! We’re not just hiking for ourselves, we’re hiking for a cause – to fundraise for the Kokoda Youth Foundation who run life-changing programs for young people across Australia. Their programs provide disengaged youth with the skills, knowledge and outdoor experiences that grow the Kokoda values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice. They have provided these fully-funded programs to hundreds of young people since 2004, thanks to the help of Kokoda Challenge participants, like us. Your donation will help more young people realise their potential.

Thank You For Helping Me Finish!
When I was hiking through those tough hills for 48 km and felt like giving up, I kept thinking about every single person who donated to support me. Knowing that so many people believed in me gave me the motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and quitting was never an option. I also leaned on my faith, praying for strength and remembering that God was with me every step of the journey, especially during the hardest moments.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated and encouraged me. Your generosity and support meant more than you know, and it motivated me to finish this challenge for you, for my family, and to give glory to God. I truly believe that with God's strength, all things are possible, and I couldn't have done it without His guidance and all of your amazing support. Thank you so much for believing in me and being part of this journey!
Thank You!
