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.

Don’t stumble Vance 😊
Any man who can walk that far managing both tough terrain and the high falootim philosophical limbo jumbo of 4 teenage girls is a LEGEND. A LEGEND I tell you. A man whose name will be in the hallowed halls of Wilderpeople. Respect
