We are walking for all patients with rare cancers
The Kosi Challenge is an annual event hosted by Rare Cancers Australia (RCA) to raise awareness and much needed funds for Australians diagnosed with a rare, less common or complex cancer each year.
In March 2024, we will be climbing 2,228 metres above sea level to reach Australia’s highest point to help RCA.
One hundred per cent of funds raised through the Kosi Challenge goes towards the important work of RCA's Patient Support Team.
From helping patients to access specialists and treatments, through to delivering support groups, connecting people with services and providing financial assistance particularly in times of crisis, Patient Support is at the heart of what RCA does.
RCA is a Federal Government-classified Health Promotion Charity. All donations over AU $2 are fully tax deductible.
Thank you so much for your support.
Thank you to our Sponsors

Thanks for looking after me each Chemo cycle. You and your team make it so easy to come back each two weeks to continue treatment. You are all so positive and encouraging. All the best for the 860m climb from Thredbo Village to the summit of Mt Kosciusko at 2228m.

As I am probably not going to be fit enough to do the Kosi Challenge I have committed to donate each two weeks, starting 1st Jan 24, that my Tumour Markers come down. Thanks for your support and encouragement Margie. 18 Dec to 2 Jan - CEA Tumour Markers came down from 10 to 7.9.

Bernie Blacka
Thank you Lindy for your support during my treatment journey. You and the team are always happy, encouraging and supportive. You have all taken on a very personal challenge to raise funds and undertake the Kosi Challenge while still working and caring for your patients during the Chemo cycles. With help from you and the team I have achieved another reduction in CEA Tumour Markers . between 2 Jan and 15 Jan when they fell from 7.9 to 7.6. Thankyou.

Bernie Blacka
Thankyou Marg and team for your commitment and support during my treatment cycles Another two weeks with a further reduction in my CEA Tumour Markets. From 15 Jan to 29 Jan they fell from 7.6 to 7.3. I am happy to with every small reduction. Enjoy your walk/climb to the summit of Mt Kosi.

All the best for this Mel. We have had a rare cancer affect a family member but he was lucky and it got found early and and incidentally and just needs monitoring. But he is very young for this type of tumour as well. Still a scare. Have fun along the way.
