I am climbing for Rare Cancers Australia
The Kosi Challenge is the single signature fundraiser for Rare Cancers Australia (RCA), with the sole purpose of raising awareness and much needed funds for people across Australia impacted by rare and less common cancers.
In March 2026, I'll be climbing with hundreds of others, in support of Rare Cancers Australia, in memory of my husband Matt, and all those living with, and caring for, someone impacted by cancer – together we are a community and Kosi unites us all!
Matt was 46 when he lost his courageous, 2 and a half year battle with a Glioblastoma (high grade Brain Cancer). He was a loving Husband, Dad, Son, Cousin, Brother-in-Law and Friend, to many. He loved his life, and the people around him. Matt adored all things NRL and the St.George Dragons, NBA and LeBron James, Ford Racing and his TX3s and a craft beer, or two.
Rare Cancers Australia came into our lives at just the right time. Providing a glimmer of hope on some of our darkest days. We will be forever grateful for the work that they do and the "no questions asked" care, they provide. Climbing Kosi is a way to say thank you to a much needed foundation, and to provide a little hope for others, who are dealt a similarly cruel hand.
All funds raised through the Kosi Challenge go directly toward funding the individualised, 360 degree person centred support that RCA’s team of specialist cancer navigators provide for patients, carers and their families.
Thank you so much for your support – now can I get a ‘Kosi, Kosi, Kosi – Oi,Oi,Oi!’
P.S RCA is a Federal Government-classified Health Promotion Charity. All donations are fully tax deductible.

I’m so sorry about your husband and I hope the climb meets you with warm rays of sunshine, a tailwind and the knowledge you’re doing something absolutely amazing (on top of all the amazing things you do for your family on the daily).
