Twelve hardworking individuals left Port Adelaide on Monday, bound for Port Lincoln on foot, canoe, mountain bike, camel back and more, for the 2010 Variety Kickin4Kids Trek to raise funds for Variety’s Freedom program, which helps children in need gain mobility and independence. Port Wakefield Primary School students were delighted to meet celebrities Mark Williams, Phil Smyth and Xavier Minnecon.
Andrew and Jillian Parker of Owen thanked the trekkers for their hard work, after being recipients of funds through the organisation.
