Supporting Hartley by trekking Kokoda in May 2026
Yes, it's true, I have committed for the 2026 Kokoda Trail Hike!
After having to withdraw at the last minute from the 2025 hike due to a minor medical issue, I’m thrilled to commit to completing the challenge this year.
I’m doing this to support people with disability. Together, we can make a difference! Please help me raise funds for Hartley Lifecare, an incredible organisation dedicated to empowering people with disability to live their best lives.
Hartley Lifecare is a Canberra-based not-for-profit organisation providing supported independent living, short term accommodation and respite care to people with disability across the ACT. We also operate an all-abilities, accessible hydrotherapy pool that supports mobility, wellbeing and independence.
Your donation helps Hartley deliver the everyday supports that make a real difference. This includes safe and well-maintained homes, accessible transport, short breaks and meaningful experiences such as outings and holidays. Donations also contribute to major infrastructure projects, including the complete rebuild of Hartley Court, a specialist disability accommodation for 10 Canberrans.
Thank you for your support.
