About
Core 5 take Kokoda
We’re the Core 5 – Sasha, Sarah, Cassie, Tashi… and our emotional support mascot and snack caterer - Sarah T!
Cassie talked us into doing 30km for charity, which at the time felt inspiring and now feels… ambitious.
We are, broadly speaking, wildly unfit (with the notable exception of Cassie and her intense Pilates passion carrying the team).
We’ve signed up for the Kokoda Challenge – and just to paint the picture, half our team still thinks it’s a “camelpack” (not CamelBak), so elite athletes we are not.
But we are doing it for a seriously good cause – the Kokoda Youth Foundation. They run life-changing programs for young people who are struggling, using outdoor challenges and mentoring to help build confidence, resilience, and direction.
These programs are fully funded for the young people who need them most, which means donations (and slightly unhinged teams like us hiking 30km) are what make it all possible. Since 2004, they’ve helped hundreds of young Australians get back on track and realise what they’re capable of.
So if you’d like to support a great cause and a group of slightly delusional girls please donate 💛
