Honoring Loved Ones
This is our second year participating in the Kosi Challenge, and this time, it's more important than ever. Last year, two of our colleagues experienced the profound loss of a parent to cancer, a reminder of how deeply this disease impacts families and loved ones. Our participation this year is not just about climbing a mountain - it's about standing together, raising awareness, and supporting those affected by rare cancer.
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

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 ❤️

The heart is a pump with a finite amount of pumps before it fails, why speed up the inevitable failure of said pump. Good luck with your stroll
