OUR 300KM CHALLENGE TO HELP KIDS IN NEED
We're taking The Smith Family Challenge INTERNATIONAL and are heading to Costa Rica, crossing from Pacific coast to the Caribbean over 12 days, cycling, hiking and kayaking through nearly 300km of tough terrain!
Its going to be hard, but we're gladly taking it on as all funds raised will help Aussie children in need with their education so they can break the poverty cycle.
All costs are fully funded by participants so 100% of donations go directly to The Smith Family.
