KOKODA FOR KAREN

Jim Goode and John McGann from the Barossa Light and Gawler Umpires will trek the Kokoda Track in October 2026!

Their trek is dedicated to Karen McColl, former Wellbeing Coordinator at Willaston Football Club, who was diagnosed with leukaemia and has been navigating this journey with the support of the Leukaemia Foundation. The support provided by the Foundation has been invaluable to her and many others facing blood cancer.

Jim and John are taking on the Kokoda challenge to raise funds and awareness so that others can continue to access the same vital support services.

All profits raised will go directly to the Leukaemia Foundation.

Please consider donating to this worthy cause and supporting the many Australians like Karen impacted by blood cancer.
