We're climbing Mt Kosciuszko for Rare Cancers Australia
On 15 March 2024, my 8 year old son Harvey and I will be joining the Johnson & Johnson team to climb 2,228 metres above sea level to reach Australia’s highest point on Mt Kosciuszko, raising funds for RCA.
15 March also happens to be my 48th birthday, and I'd love if you'd consider making a donation in lieu of cards/flowers/gifts/drinks etc.
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.
Having lost my husband to cancer 3 years ago, I know first hand how important patient advocacy and support can be when you or a family member or friend is living through this disease, and that's why I've signed Harvey and I up for the Kosi Challenge.
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.
