Team Zane
We are climbing Mount Kosciuszko in memory of Zane and all our little DIPG angels.
In 2019, Zane was diagnosed with a rare and incurable paediatric brain tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, eight months later, he lost his battle.
Each year in March, we climb Mount Kosciuszko to raise money for RCA, a wonderful organisation that offered Zane’s family tremendous support in navigating such a difficult diagnosis.
We climb Kosciuszko to honour Zane’s life, and his vivacious and energetic approach to everything in it.
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.
