Crows AFLW co-captain Chelsea Randall is set to join an impressive list of Crows players who have tackled the Kokoda track in Papua New Guinea.

Randall is gearing up to trek the 96 kilometre journey in October to raise funds for the Little Heroes Foundation.

The 25-year-old AFLW premiership player, who has re-signed with Adelaide for 2018, will join a team of 21 including her Dad, Brett, and brother Scott. You can support Randall’s fundraising efforts here.

The Little Heroes Foundation is hoping to raise $100,000 from the adventure, and Chairman and former Crows captain Chris McDermott said it was great to have Chelsea on board.

“It’s been 10 years since our last team took on Kokoda, and that included the great Tony Modra, Graham Cornes, and Rod Jameson to name a few!" McDermott said.

Randall is not the only Crow set to reach new heights this October – with teammate Sarah Perkins and AFL defender Kyle Hartigan trekking to Base Camp Everest with the Crows Children’s Foundation.

“I’m super excited to be joining the team and raising money for a worthy cause like Little Heroes!” Randall said.

“The Kokoda Trek is something I’ve always wanted to do, and when I spoke to Chris (McDermott) about the organisation and the trek they were planning on doing in October, I had to be a part of it.

“I’m a passionate Australian, the thought of walking the same trek that our heroic and courageous Australians did many years ago will be challenging and an experience of a lifetime. I’m honoured to share this with my dad and brother, prior to the AFLW pre-season starting in November. 

“I’m blessed to have 10 healthy nieces and nephews, and can only imagine what some families with seriously ill children must go through. Therefore any small contribution I can make or do in order to support Little Heroes to help assist fellow South Australian families is the least my family and I can do.“
