Girls conquer Kokoda
A massive congratulations to Eleisha, Joanne, Tara and Majella who yesterday completed what is perhaps the most difficult and challenging event I have ever witnessed - The Kokoda Challenge
The girls completed the challenge in 31 hours and 35 minutes, finishing at just after 2pm yesterday afternoon. They started walking at 7am on Saturday morning.
I was involved in helping the girls out with support along the way and I have never seen anything like this event before. Blisters, chaffing, fatigue and tears were all just a part of the journey and the girls should be extremely proud of what they have achieved.
It was a real inspiration to see them complete th 96km and says a lot about their mental strength, in an event where many of the people who started, didn't even make it to half way.
Girls you are an inspiration to us all and I hope that when the pain goes away you can sit back and feel warm and fuzzy about what you have just done. WELL DONE!!!
