Merck cancer crusaders

Share our page

We're fundraising for...

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.

Hi Bo, I'm happy to see I am the first one to donate to your account. I had to be fair and share the effort (I donated to Pete as well) but at the end of the day it will all go to the same great cause, right? :)

Julia Braga

Go Pete! I'm only giving you 20 as I decided to be fair and donate to the other team members. At the end of the day the cause is the same right? :)
