I am climbing for rare
The Kosi Challenge is the single signature fundraiserfor 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, in memory of and with those living with rare themself – together we are a community and Kosi unites us all!
All funds raised through the Kosi Challenge goes directly towards 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.

Taking on Australia’s Highest Peak to Support Rare Cancers
In March 2026, I’ll be joining the Montu team to take on the Kosi Challenge—climbing Australia’s highest peak to raise funds and awareness for Rare Cancers Australia. It will be physically demanding, mentally testing, and far outside my usual routine, but that is exactly why I am doing it.
Rare cancers account for around 30% of all cancer diagnoses in Australia, yet patients with rare cancers face disproportionate challenges: delayed diagnosis, limited treatment options, and poorer survival rates compared to those with more common cancers. These individuals often fall through the gaps in research, funding, and support. They deserve better.
When I push myself up Mount Kosciuszko, I’ll be doing it to honour those who face something far tougher than any mountain: a diagnosis that is unfamiliar, isolating, and often without a clear path forward. They do not get to choose their challenge. But I can choose to take on mine.
By supporting my Kosi Challenge, you’ll be helping Rare Cancers Australia provide critical patient care, advocacy, and research funding—giving more people the chance to fight and the hope of better outcomes.
Thank you for standing with me, the Montu team, and every Australian living with a rare cancer. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
