On April 14, Mr Duffy will carry Jack, 8, on his back across the 65-kilometre journey, with a 12-member support crew.
The support crew will be walking with the father and son to carry water, food, nappies and other medical supplies to assist with their journey.
Mr Duffy said the group wanted to raise $70,000 for Life Without Barriers but any amount raised would be beneficial.
"It is easy to get inspiration with Jack everyday," said Mr Duffy of his son, who has cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegia.
"The challenges that Jack has to go through inspires us to do anything really, and to give kids like Jack the chance to have these adventures, to do something that they wouldn't normally be able to do."
