I am 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 2025, I 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.

My Updates
Spit to Manly Walk!
Completed the Spit to Manly Walk (10km) as part of my prep for climbing Mount Kosciuszko. It was a solid challenge, but the early start was so worth it as I caught an incredible sunrise along the way!
I'm blown away by all the donations so far. Thank you all for your support!

Climbing Mount Kosciuszko? Bold move for someone who complained about the stairs at our old place. But hey, it’s for a great cause, so I guess I’ll allow it. Try not to get lost, don’t fight a wombat (you will lose) and remember, altitude sickness is just your body questioning your life choices. Go get it, my other half ❤️
