Glenorie Dads Walk Kokoda

Glenorie Dads Walk Kokoda
Story
A group of school Dads from Sydney fly out to PNG on August 24th to walk the infamous Kokoda Track. Widely acknowledged as one of the toughest 'walks' in the world the 10 day trek is not for the faint-hearted. Of various shapes, sizes and fitness levels (but all equally insane), we've been in training since last November. It's been tough going but we think we're in shape to tackle the mud, mozzies and some VERY big hills!!
All of us have kids at Glenorie Public School - a wonderful and well-provided for school set in a beautiful rural setting. The kids in Papua New Guinea along the Kokoda Track have very,very little compared with the facilities our kids enjoy. So we've decided to help out with that by using our adventure to raise money for the Kokoda Track Foundation - a great charity which, among other things, supports kids in need along the Kokoda Track.
Please help us achieve our fund-raising goal. Any donations will be gratefully received and encourage us for the remainder of our training. Thank-you!!
Andrew, Michael, Peter, Riaan, Steve and Terry
