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.
Thank you to our Sponsors

**Dear Claire Wilson,** I am truly inspired by your commitment to the **Kosi Challenge**, an annual event hosted by **Rare Cancers Australia (RCA)**. Your determination to raise awareness and much-needed funds for Australians diagnosed with rare, less common, or complex cancers is commendable. In March 2024, as you climb **2,228 meters above sea level** to reach Australia's highest point—the summit of **Mount Kosciuszko**, you carry the hopes and resilience of those impacted by these challenging cancers. Your steps echo the collective spirit of support and solidarity.

Never Gonna Give You Up: These words echo not only in my song but also in your determination. The Kosi Challenge might test your limits, but I know you won’t give up. Keep pushing forward, step by step, just like Rick’s smooth dance moves. “Together Forever”: Giles, you’re not alone in this adventure. Friends, family, and supporters stand by your side, cheering you on. Just like the chorus of my upbeat anthem, they’ll be there—through every uphill climb and downhill slide
