CONVERT OUR STEPS INTO CENTS....FOR THE KIDS!

Hello Village,

I hope this finds you all safe and well. I just wanted to share another challenge update and once again ask for your support in helping me to raise money for kids.

This time, I have undertaken a mammoth challenge. Me, my team,  and my new titanium knee are upping the ante and undertaking a 48km hike in one day.  Also known as the Kokoda Challenge.

Why am I doing this, you ask? Well, it's for the kids.  My teammates and I will be adventuring through some of the harshest terrain on the East Coast of Australia to raise funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation’s life changing Youth Programs. We will be embodying the spirit of Kokoda by walking in memory of our Australian diggers.

The Kokoda Youth Foundation is a Gold Coast charity that runs experiential Youth Programs, inspiring young Aussies to reach their full potential. The foundation takes kids from all walks of life and provides them with free programs that have life changing capabilities. These kids are fondly known as the Kokoda Kids.

I am tackling The Kokoda Challenge to push my own physical and mental boundaries, and to change the lives of youth in our community.

This has been described as Australia's toughest endurance team events. I am undertaking this task on a single day in June, and thanks to my amazing team members and support crew - I think I can do it.

 I am asking you to please help me help the kids and donate as much or as little as you can spare. Every step and every cent matters. 

Thank you to all my village. I am as always eternally grateful for your support. 

P.S Please leave a message when donating - reading these will help me shuffle on when it gets tough!

 Much appreciation and love always - Dee
