Kokoda 2026

Supporting Hartley by trekking Kokoda 16th to 26th May 2026

Thank you for supporting Hartley Lifecare by sponsoring me to take on the Kokoda Trail in May 2026. Your support helps people with disability live their best life.

I am really excited to take up this personal challenge and also to raise money for Hartley Lifecare. I have always been interested in the story of Kokoda and I am looking forward to learning more about the history and relationship between Australia and Papua New Guinea.

I have worked with Hartley for many years and know that Hartley is a great organisation, with strong values, and a proud history and it has always strived to put people with disability and their families first. 

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.

Thanks for supporting me and Hartley Lifecare.

Thank you to my Sponsors
