I am climbing for rare

The Kosi Challenge is the single signature fundraiserfor 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 running with hundreds of others, in support of rare, in memory of and with those living with rare themself – together we are a community and Kosi unites us all!

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.

Thank you so much for your support – now can I get a ‘Kosi, Kosi, Kosi – Oi,Oi,Oi!’

P.S RCA is a Federal Government-classified Health Promotion Charity. All donations are fully tax deductible.

Why I’m Taking on the Kozi Challenge 2026


I’m so excited, and a little nervous, to share that I’ve committed to the Kozi Challenge 2026.

This challenge is incredibly close to my heart.

I’m taking this on to raise funds for rare cancers, but also for something much bigger. I am doing this for everyone currently battling cancer, for those who have fought and survived, and for those living in remission.

Cancer touches so many lives. It affects families, friends, colleagues, and communities in ways that are often unseen but deeply felt. This is my way of standing alongside them, showing support, raising awareness, and contributing to something that truly matters.

What This Challenge Means to Me

This journey represents:

• Supporting those facing one of life’s toughest battles

• Honouring the strength and resilience of cancer survivors

• Bringing hope to those currently in the fight

• Raising awareness and funds for rare cancers

• Pushing myself physically and mentally for a greater purpose

The Journey Ahead

This is not just a fitness challenge. It is a commitment.

There will be early mornings, long walks, and moments where I will need to dig deep. Every step I take is driven by purpose, knowing it represents something far greater than myself.

I will be sharing updates along the way and keeping myself accountable, not just to the challenge, but to the people this journey is for.

How You Can Support

If you would like to support me, I would be incredibly grateful.

Whether it is:

• A donation, big or small

• Sharing this page

• Words of encouragement

Every bit of support helps make a real difference.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Together, we can create impact, raise awareness, and support those who need it most.

Warm regards
