The duo left Wagga Riverside on July 1 and arrived in Sydney's centre of business on Friday morning, accumulating more than the $1 million goal they had set themselves.
The funds will go directly to Open Parachute, an in-school, peer-to-peer program using clinically validated, research based, psychological skills to boost resilience, self-awareness, and social responsibility in youth in a bid to prevent suicide.
