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, I will be climbing 2,228 metres above sea level to reach Australia’s highest point to help RCA, my second adventure up this mountain and for this meaningful cause.
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.

Thanks Erica for your efforts are greatly appreciated. We lost Mum to a rare and aggressive, incurable cancer in January after a diagnosis in July. I was grateful to see so many ex students during my visits to her. You all make me proud that I had a little bit to do with your lives. Hugs and much gratitude, Chris
