KOKODA TREK

By Michael Sayers Join Me

Help me make it meaningful

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

That’s why I’m getting active and raising funds for the Black Dog Institute - to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

 I have had the Kokoda Trek on my bucket list for some time and thought it would be a great idea not for just a personal goal and experience but to raise awareness and funds to support ongoing research into Mental health.

Over the years i have personally had challenges with mental health and unfortunately lost people close to me with this illness . Earlier this year my cousin lost his battle after a long history of mental health and left behind his wife and a young family . 

Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health as I tackle the Kokoda Track over 9 days and 94 km over the Owen Stanley Range in PNG, all for a great cause.

Please donate now. Thank you.

KOKODA MISSION COMPLETE

Friday 3rd Oct
Hi All,

Thanks again as i have just completed the 96km Kokoda Track.
I have landed back in AUS with some very swollen and blistered feet.

This was truly an unbelievable and emotional experience. One to raise funds for the BDI and pay my respects to our diggers that fought the battle in 1942 on this grueling mission.

Speak with you all in the coming days .

Regards 

Mick

"Kokoda is no small feat — but neither are you! There’ll be mud, sweat, and maybe a few blisters, but there’ll also be moments that take your breath away. Take it one step at a time, laugh when you can, and remember why you started. You’re doing something incredible — keep going, you’ve totally got this Mick!"
