I am fundraising for all rare cancer patients
I'm taking on the Kosi Challenge this March 2024! Climbing 2,228 metres to the peak of Australia isn’t just for kicks - it’s to rally behind the superheroes at Rare Cancers Australia (RCA). Every step I take helps fund the fight against rare cancers, with all funds raised going straight into RCA’s life-changing Patient Support Team.
RCA are a very special organisation - guiding patients to top-notch specialists, supporting them with crucial treatments, running support groups that are actually supportive, and providing a financial lifeline to those hit hard by crisis.
This fundraiser is all for a great cause, and as an added bonus, any donations over $2 are tax-deductible.
So, what do you say? Help me help them with a donation. It’s good for your health, your heart, and your tax return. Cheers for the support - let’s make this climb count!
