Newcastle paralympian Kurt Fearnley has just completed the Kokoda Trail which is an amazing accomplishment considering he had to crawl the entire 96 km over the last 11 days.
There will be a featured article in this Saturday's The Herald detailing the monumental effort! Which leads to me to suggesting that Newcastle City Council should host a civic reception and give Kurt the keys to the city.
Surely if we can acknowledge the achievements of our other sporting teams such as the Knights and the Jets we can formally acknowledge this fantastic individual for the courage and determination he has shown.
I would like to urge all who agree with this to contact their local member for council and/or state member or click on the NCC link and leave a comment of support.

Come on Newcastle let's get behind Kurt.
