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.

My Updates

Longest hike so far

I decided to try & do some of the Kokoda course, which is in reverse from how I usually go. My barings were totally off & I got lost!!
19kms & 5 hrs later, I made it back to my car!
I had strayed that far from the park map, I had to use the big map. Thankfully I had it on my phone so I could work out where I was!

Russ joined me - It rained! A lot

Russ is now doing Kokoda with me, so he joined me today. Unfortunately it was raining on & off so we cut the hike short. I would of liked to do more, but I also forgot my trail shoes!
It was a different experience than all my previous hikes as the ground was so soft & wet. Lots of run off water but it was so good. I also saw my kangaroo family again 

Kokoda training Nerang

Ive done a couple on my own & its so peaceful, just me & the kangaroo family!

Kokda training Hellfire Pass

My 1st training hike & I thought this sounded cool! I said Hellfire so many times whilst walking it! Its a steep terrain, not for the feint hearted!
