Kokoda+ Stronger Than You Think

Donation protected
This June I will be trekking the mentally and physically challenging Kokoda trail with HIV Foundation QLD in an inspirational trek lead by Ji Wallace.

This trek will embody its theme "You are Stronger Than You Believe" and it aims to smash the stigma associated with, not just, those living with HIV but, really, with all who suffer mental, physical or socio-economic struggles that can so often feel like prison bars or chains.  More than this though, it hopes to empower, inspire and motivate anyone who struggles that no matter your circumstance, it does not have to define you.  For me, this is an important message as I have spent my working life in the community services sector, working with people who have experienced struggle and difficult circumstances - whether through homelessness, trauma, addiction, disability or mental health issues.

The Kokoda track is a 90km single-file path that crosses some of the most rugged, isolated and treachorous terrain in the world and combines hot humid days with perilously cold nights and torrential rainfall. Completing this challenge will require not only physical fitness but also a strong and resilient mind and I am so blessed to have this opportunity to challenge myself in this way with the HIV Foundation and to prove that we are all really stronger than we believe.  I hope this trek will demonstrate that with determination, courage, hard work and the support of those around you, what can be achieved is phenomenal, no matter the obstacles that lie in the way.

Your donations to this trek are incredibly appreciated and valued and I hope that in donating you take a piece of the inspiration for yourself. Thank you so much for whatever support you can give.
