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.

Stephanie, Winter is coming! Keep training hard, keep doing the hard yards and when the morning of the 48km trek in that tough torrain begins and you are in the game, you will succeed and will conquer the Kokoda challenge! Also, be alert, you don't want to run into any white walkers! Good luck!

Stephanie, as a former student of your dad’s, I’ve seen how much he values hard work and preparation. It’s awesome to see you applying those same values to such a tough physical challenge. 48km is no joke, but the training you're doing now will make that finish line feel incredible. All the best!
Kick some butt Stephie!
