We're 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, 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.
Thank you to our Sponsors

Dear Louise, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I’ve been thinking about participating in the Kosi Challenge, Rare Cancers Australia’s major fundraising event, where people climb Mount Kosciuszko to raise awareness and funds for those affected by rare cancers. But here’s the surprise: I’m not dead! I know it’s been a while since we last spoke, and I wanted to let you know I’m still here, cheering you on. If you’re interested, we could even take on the Kosi Challenge together—either in person or virtually. Let me know what you think! Warm regards, Cilla Black
