Kokoda Trek 

Sarah Mamalai and 13 friends and family embarked on a great adventure in May of this year when she tackled the Kokoda Track.

When one of her doctors suggested she set some goals this was what she chose! Her Kokoda trek will not only be the adventure of a lifetime, but also an opportunity to raise some money for Cure for Life Foundation. (www.cureforlife.org.au).

Sarah is seeking sponsorship for the walk, with all proceeds going directly to the Cure for Life Foundation as the group will be covering their own costs for the trip.

Thank you to our sponsors Niugini Adventure Tours and CPS Community Credit Union, for helping make this happen!
