A year ago, Kirralee Hughes was thinking about an all-ladies trek to tackle the Kokoda Trail when her teenage sons told her 'yeah Mum, it's easy, you'll be fine'.
Zac and Dane had just returned from completing the trail with their father, Mark, whose foundation has raised money to fight brain cancer for the past decade. Expeditions like the one to the iconic Papua New Guinea track have been part of fundraising efforts since the former Knights star started the Mark Hughes Foundation following his brain cancer diagnosis.
