Three Byron Bay teens have hiked from Cape Byron to Brooms Head, raising over $3,300 for brain cancer research and awareness.
Kai Ferguson, Sam Burden and Noah Brink, all 17, walked the 130 km route in four days to fundraise for the Mark Hughes Foundation.
‘My family’s had separate cases of brain cancer on my mum’s side of the family,’ Sam Burden said. ‘The research is pretty underfunded in Australia, so I thought the Mark Hughes Foundation would be a pretty good cause.’ The boys sweated through their four day trek. Supplied: Kai Ferguson.
The boys admitted, however, that the trek was far more difficult than they expected.
