⭐️🥾The Kokoda Challenge 2022 🥾⭐️
Wow, what an adventure our team had. After months of preparation, we are super proud of our iConnect Life team for completing The Kokoda Challenge 18km hike on the 16th of July.
The team set a goal, raised money for a sensational cause, #KokodaYouthFoundation, trained twice a week for months, and smashed the 18 km. Their happy faces show that we love what we do and how important it is we all get to participate in life adventures, regardless of our ability.
A special shout-out goes to our Adventure Rockstars, Aron and Archer. Thank you for allowing us to be part of this adventure with you!
For those who may not have met our team (left to right), please join us in congratulating Rhiannon, Aron, Sharna, Archer, Olwyn and Josh on their epic achievement. The day will be a memory to cherish for a lifetime !!
Watch this space to hear about the team’s plan for their next big adventure!

EVENT DETAILS
It’s time to kick off our 2022 challenge, and this year our amazing clients and team have chosen to join the #KokodaChallenge hosted by the Kokoda Youth Foundation. The event is special to us for many reasons; however, it is especially dear to our Adventure Coordinator – Josh Hack.
As a youth, Josh was one of the lucky few to be selected and be affectionately known as a ‘Kokoda Kid’ in the 9-month #KokodaChallengeYouthProgram. The program challenged and changed Josh’s path as a youth, allowing him to build greater resilience, form solid friendships and realise that he had the courage to achieve anything.
The iConnect team has already registered 2 teams for the 2022 Gold Coast 18klm event to harness some of these great qualities. In fact, two of our brave clients, Archer and Erin, have already started training with Josh (photo).
- Date: 16 July 2022, 3.00pm
- Distance: 18km in 7 hours
- Team Numbers: 4 People (we have two teams)
- Minimum Age Requirement: Turn 9 during the year of the event.
- Location: Gold Coast Hinterland (Nerang)
- Why? Raise funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation
We are looking forward to raising funds for this local charity that provides experiential programs that engage and inspire Aussie kids to reach their full potential. To support participation, we will be planning several days to help tackle the 18km #KokodaChallenge, including practice hiking days, fitness activities, gear preparation catch-ups and fundraising initiatives.
Each team is a mix of clients and staff, and there are currently 4 places that are still available between the groups. We are looking for you if you’re willing to participate.
All donations received will help Aussie Youth via the Kokoda Youth Foundation, and the 18klm hike is set to be an adventure to remember.
If you would like to join us on the journey or simply support our cause, contact Josh and the team today – email: info@iconnectlife.com.au | Phone 1800 511 411.
