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.
Thank you to our Sponsors

Well Done. A motivated thought to consider as you are “slogging it out” —- Resilience is a process, one step at a time. Also take the opportunity to consider the importance of self reflection. Every step on the Kokoda Challenge is a tribute to Courage, to Endurance, and to Mateship. Grandma and I are so very very proud of you!!!
