In May 2027 I’m walking the Kokoda Track. I’m doing it for two reasons. First, to stand on the same ground as the men who held the line in 1942. Second, to walk it beside a Special Forces veteran I’m helping get there, with support going to Pillars for Pilgrims. This page is only for my share of the trip: flights, trek operator, insurance, gear and the training I still have to do. The veteran’s costs and the donation sit separately so every dollar here stays with the personal side. Should there be leftover I will be donating directly to Pillars for Pilgrims. I’ve spent 21 years in the NT Police. The last stretch has been the hardest. Kokoda is the line I’m drawing for the next chapter — something physical, honest and bigger than me. I’m training for it the same way I’d prepare for any operation. If you want to help me get to the start line, anything goes in the pot. Even a small amount shortens the gap. Thank you for your support. Chris
