I am climbing for rare

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, in memory of and with those living with rare themself.

I said yes to the Kosi Challenge this year because cancer has touched my life in a very real way.

Someone close has been impacted recently, several friends have faced their own battles, and my grandpa is currently fighting it. The challenge feels like a way to turn something that feels heavy and personal into action, honour the people I love, support those still fighting and contribute in one more way apart from the awesome work we do at Montu.

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.

This climb is my way of showing up for people doing it tougher than me every day. It’s a small challenge for me, but it can add up to meaningful support for others.
