The Difference You'll Make
In 2024, 17 passionate adventurers who raised vital funds for Paralympics Australia and helped amplify the message of inclusion and opportunity, summited the highest mountain in Australia. Building on that momentum, our 2025 Kozi trek aims to achieve even greater impact—continuing the legacy of empowering para-athletes and creating pathways for Australians with disabilities to thrive through sport.
Your participation in this trek will directly support Paralympics Australia’s mission to break down barriers and provide para-athletes with access to the training, equipment, and facilities they need to excel. Beyond the Games, your fundraising efforts will help open doors for people with disabilities to engage in sport, fostering empowerment, connection, and community.
For 75% of Australians with disabilities who wish to participate in sport, opportunities remain limited. Together, we can change that. With every dollar you raise and every step you take, you’re paving the way for a more inclusive Australia, one where athletes of all abilities can dream big, overcome challenges, and achieve greatness.
