About
Support Our Team, Honor the ANZAC Spirit, and Empower Local Youth!
Our team is tackling Australia’s toughest team endurance event, the Kokoda Challenge, and we need your help!
We're not just hiking for the glory (and to avoid being called "landlubbers") – we’re hiking for a cause. Specifically, to fundraise for the Kokoda Youth Foundation, which runs life-changing programs for young people across Australia. Think of it like this: while we might be sweating, cursing, and trying not to get "sea legs" on land, we’re also helping to set up youth for success.
The Kokoda Youth Foundation gives disengaged youth the skills, knowledge, and outdoor experiences that build the values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship, and Sacrifice. It’s like a Navy boot camp but without the salty language (okay, maybe a little salty). Since 2004, they’ve provided these fully-funded programs to hundreds of young people—thanks to the Kokoda Challenge participants, like us, and our generous supporters, like you!
So, help us keep our legs moving and our spirits high (and our feet on dry land). Your donation will help more young people realise their potential and keep our team out of the "seaman’s penalty box" (which we’re pretty sure involves more hiking and less complaining).
Thank you to our Sponsors

That is a bold team name! Since they’ve set the bar high with the puns, your message should definitely lean into the "nautical" or "count" themes of their name. Here are a few options ranging from supportive to slightly cheeky: The Punny Route • "I’m sure you’ll all be dripping with sweat, but try to stay afloat!" • "Don't let the team name be a self-fulfilling prophecy—stay on your feet and don't end up face-down in the mud." • "A drop in the ocean for a team of your caliber. Go get 'em, boys!" • "Wishing you fair winds and following seas... or at least fewer hills and more shade."
