About


Support our team and empower local youth!

Our team are tackling Australia's toughest team endurance event, The Kokoda Challenge, to support the Kokoda Youth Foundation in their mission to change the lives of young Australians through instilling the values of the Spirit of Kokoda; Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice. These are the values we will embody on our adventure, paying tribute to Kokoda Veterans.

The Kokoda Youth Foundation is an Australian charity that runs free youth programs for kids in the local community, empowering disadvantaged and disengaged youth with the tools to realise their full potential.

By making a tax-deductible donation today, you can support our team in The Kokoda Challenge and provide Australian youth with life-changing opportunities.

Jordan, Congratulations on completing the Kokoda Challenge. Thank you for taking on this experience with such determination and heart—From tabata strength sessions on Tuesdays to Hiking Saturday's it's been quite the journey, and one you should be proud of. You rose to every challenge placed in front of you—every hill, every leech, every step. You showed patience and maturity, even in the tough moments, and your steady presence and willingness to wait with me never went unnoticed. Your quiet “follow me” style of leadership and the way you supported others through conversation and encouragement made a real difference. You set the tone when it mattered most, especially when energy was low. Well done, Jordan. It’s been a privilege to have you on the team. Our job isnt over yet though - you might have wait for me a few more times yet :) Lets go get it!

Congratulations Ella, This is a special time - you’re doing something truly extraordinary. You’ve stepped up, pushed your limits, and led with heart, all while surrounded by some of your closest mates. That’s something not everyone gets to experience, and it’s something you should be incredibly proud of. Throughout this Kokoda journey and your Cert III in Fitness, you’ve gone above and beyond—not just showing up, but leading. Running training sessions for your peers and teachers is no small feat, and it speaks volumes about your confidence, initiative, and professionalism. Your ability to support others while continuing to grow yourself has been powerful to witness. You’ve set an example for others to follow, and you’ve done it with consistency, warmth, and quiet strength. Looking forward to doing this challenge with you and the team. Well done, Ella. Keep shining, keep leading—you’re just getting started.
