Paul found this was a great opportunity to raise some money for the Mark Hughes Foundation.

On the Show “I’m a Celebrity Get me out of here” Paul did some crazy things out there in the middle of the jungle in South Africa.

We would even be willing to say that Paul did just about anything to get this over the line for Hughesy!

Mark played in the 1997 Grand Final Side with Paul and a few years ago was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Mark has undergone a series of ongoing intensive treatments for illness and he is in an ongoing battle for survival, a cure is critical part of that survival.

As a result Mark and his wife Kirralee have created a foundation to raise funds for research in order to find a cure for what is at the moment an incurable disease.

In the end Brendan split the prize money with Paul as these two greats of the sporting world developed a great bond and strong and close personal friendship in the jungle.

An amazing gesture made by Brendan.

Sandakan Death March trek
Led by Wayne Wetherall and Paul Chief Harragon
14-23 August 2016

Imagine this…
It is mid 1945 the days of the Japanese Occupation in Borneo are numbered.
The Allied forces are closing in on them…the noose is tightening….desperate to cover up their atrocities…

The order to kill the prisoners is received…Brutalised, bashed, starved, tortured and denied medicines over three long years……dressed only in rags, no shoes, putrid weeping wounds, ulcers so severe that their shin bones are exposed.Bodies, twisted, bent and bloated from poor nutrition, tropical disease, ulcers, scabies and lice rage over their bodies.

The POW Camp at Sandakan on Borneo’s North East Coast held 2600 Australian and British Service personal.Now just over 500 men were left to struggle inland through inhospitable and impenetrable jungles 250 kilometres to Ranau…

Their fate long sealed by their captors.Only 6 would survive…All Australian…
Sandakan is one of the most tragic Australian stories of World War Two.

It is also one of our most heroic.
After 70 years, you can walk the Sandakan Death March track in the footsteps of these heroes.

We will never forget their sacrifice, courage and endurance…
Their Spirit will live forever……..

2017 marks the 75th anniversary of the Kokoda Trail Campaign.

Kokoda is one of the most significant campaigns in Australia’s history.

Ordinary Australians became extraordinary Australians fighting a continual battle against the elements, inhospitable terrain and a voracious enemy hell bent on taking their land and our Australian freedom.

When you walk Kokoda with all its obstacles and challenges you feel the aura and spirit of the young men who defeated an enemy, an enemy who had never been conquered, an enemy that had never tasted defeat.

Our diggers overcame overwhelming odds and atrocious conditions, outnumbered and out gunned their victory was possible due to their trust and respect for each other, their dependence on each other, their ability to never give up, to hang in there when all seemed lost, self belief, courage, endurance, mateship, sacrifice, and resilience.

To walk in the footsteps of heroes, to walk in the footsteps of our brothers is a heady experience, it is an experience a turning point that blows away our preconceived limitations of our physical ability, endurance and reminds us that the human spirit and our boundaries are only limited by our ability to dream and believe.

With our Kokoda Veterans now in there 90’s… 2017 may be the last significant anniversary to commemorate, to remember and to be empowered by the indomitable Spirit of our Kokoda Veterans.

How will you show your respect to our real Australian heroes in 2017?

Achieve something extraordinary…
