11 Months Of Sweat And Toil

[aussie240z]

So after having an "incident" at the end of Trek4Kidz2016, we are finally ready to go again next weekend for trek4kidz2017 raisiing much needed funds  for  the Starlight Foundation. It has been a mammoth effort of weekends and late nights in between all the normal demands of work, family etc but so happy to be heading off again next weekend. See some details here car240.com.au (with live tracking from next weekend) or the main site trek4kidz.com 

Some pix of the then and now.

Good on you mate. I raised $17500.00 for a mates little girl with cancer last year with a lot of help from people on this site Unfortunatly she has lost one eye but we are keeping fingers crossed .

thnx for the good wishes. and Peter T, this is why we do it. I was blessed with three kids who grew up without issue but have been close to friends/family with similar  issues and Starlight make a difference for the time kids spend in hospitals. And Trek is an unusual one ion that 100% of what we raise actually goers to Starlight as everyone from organisers to officials are volunteers.  Was involved with Camp Quality through their similar event (escarpade) but got a bit disillusioned with a good chunk of what we raised going in admin/staff costs. Absolutely not judging what they do or the outcome, as Camp Quality is an amazing help to kids as well, but prefer when the funds can get to the charity in one piece.  And fingers crossed for your mates child. Never an easy illness, and more so seeing kids go through it.
