[New] SUPPORT JET TREK

✦ Jason and Karen Warneken are a local Lake Cathie couple once again participating in Jet Trek – a wonderful fundraiser for VARIETY, The Children’s Charity.

Variety – the Children’s Charity, is dedicated to empowering Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs to LIVE, LAUGH and LEARN. The Variety Jet Trek is about helping sick, disabled and disadvantaged kids and providing them with equipment, scholarships or experiences they never thought possible.

The event began in 1998 with some fearless personal water craft enthusiasts tackling the coastline from Yeppoon to the Gold Coast and from this the Variety Jet Trek was born, an annual fundraising and fitness challenge for all involved.

With Jason already possessing a jet ski, he knew they had the capacity to be involved and support this great charity event.

v“We are both high school teachers and Karen is also a Registered Nurse, so we are all too aware that there are children in communities such as ours who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs and are less fortunate than our own children. As we work in education it only seemed logical to support a charity that assists children - but we need help from the community,” Jason told us.
