EIGHT women from Miriam Vale and Bororen are among nearly 3000 trekkers gearing up for next month's 10th annual Wild Women On Top Sydney Coastrek to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation.

With less than three weeks until the event, Shayna Pender and her team Tramps Like Them and their sister team Tramps Like Us are busy training for the 60km trek.

The group of teachers and mothers signed up for Sydney Coastrek as a way to stay fit, build friendships, have a few laughs and enjoy the views of some iconic Australian destinations while also taking the opportunity for a girls weekend away.

"We have been following the Coastrek 12-week train- ing guide, and our favourite group walks have been bush- walking on dirt gazetted roads with mountain views," Ms Pender said.

"The Fred Hollows Foundation is one of our favourite organisations so it has been great to get out and fundraise.

"We have had bake stalls, pub raffles, crab races, a movie fundraiser and received donations from generous family and friends."

Wild Women on Top Coastrek founder and CEO Di Westaway said Sydney Coastrek was a way for women to come together for their health and well-being.

"By taking part in Coastrek, women are restoring sight to other women, which helps them to return to work so they can provide for themselves and their families, and also helps girls to return to school and continue their education," Ms Westaway said.

The Fred Hollows Foundation founding director Gabi Hollows said it was inspiring to see so many people join the fight to end avoidable blindness.
