The 2023 Yamaha Variety Jet Trek charity ride has raised $341,898 to help sick and disadvantaged kids as the annual, week-long ocean adventure celebrates its 25th anniversary.
The latest fundraising effort brings the total donations to in excess of $2.7 million since the first Variety Jet Trek in 1998.
The event typically attracts about 100 Jet Ski riders each year - including regular participants and first-timers - and is primarily held on the east coast of Australia.
This year’s 800km run headed north from Batemans Bay on the south coast of NSW to Coffs Harbour on the mid-north coast of NSW (28 February 2023 to 4 March 2023) with overnight stops in Wollongong, Ettalong, Shoal Bay and Port Macquarie.
Among the 91 Jet Ski riders in the 2023 event - including 7 first-time entrants - one participant, Peter Locock from Sydney NSW, has ridden in every Jet Trek since its inception.
