Kokoda 2025

Supporting Hartley by trekking Kokoda in May 2025

Thank you for your support of Hartley Lifecare by sponsoring the Kokoda Trail trek in May 2025 to help people with disabilities live their best life.

Hartley Lifecare (Hartley) is a Canberra-based not-for-profit organisation providing Supported Independent Living (SIL), Short Term Accommodation, or respite care (STA) to people with disability in Canberra. We also operate a hydrotherapy pool - an all-abilities accessible heated pool.

Your donation helps Hartley to provide people with disability in the ACT access Hartley's services that support all sorts of great things such as outings and holidays for people with disability that they otherwise would not be able to do. Donations also are used to maintain the homes that our clients live in, and the complete rebuild of Hartley Court, a specialty disability accommodation for 10 Canberrans.

More training!

Tuesday 8th Apr
I hiked Didthul (Pigeaon House mountain) twice over two days last weekend!  It's a grueling 2 hour 7 kilometre hike with 1310 stairs and 240 ladder steps (yes I counted them!).

Great views at the top and wonderful and peaceful hike.  I really enjoyed it.

 

Didthul (Pigeon House) - training for Kokoda!

Sunday 9th Mar
Second weekend in a row climbing Didthul (Pigeon House mountain).  Feeling good.  Great start to the training needed for Kokoda!  Thank you for all your support.
