A Tough Climb, With Powerful Impact

In August, 16 Teal Trekkers spent three challenging days hiking 39 km of the iconic Larapinta Trail in support of Ovarian Cancer Australia.

The toughest stretch began at 2 am, when the group set out for Mount Sonder in near-freezing darkness and fierce winds. Ahead was an 8km climb over steep, rocky terrain to the 1,300-metre summit, where they watched the sunrise and honoured the women and families affected by ovarian cancer.

Exhausted, but elated and united by a shared purpose, the trekkers reached the summit knowing their climb was part of something bigger. Through the challenge, they formed connections that will last beyond the trail – one of the things that makes Teal Treks so special. For Lexi, it was “an amazing few days… truly life-changing,” while Molly shared, “My life is richer for meeting all of you.” Together, the team raised $58,698.

This incredible result will help provide specialist support for women and families impacted by ovarian cancer.

Congratulations to the Teal Trekkers on an incredible achievement and thank you to every donor who helped make this impact possible. If you’re seeking an unforgettable experience while supporting women facing ovarian cancer, join us for the epic Teal Trek Camino in 2027!
