I am fundraising for all the women and their families who are affected by gynaecological cancers

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 challenging myself by taking part in the Kosi challenge along with colleagues from GSK to raise much needed funds for these patients suffering from rare cancers. 

What is motivating me to complete this challenge is the fact that every year, over 6,777 women in Australia receive the life-altering diagnosis of a gynaecological cancer. These cancers, many of which are rare and complex, not only disrupt lives but also present daunting challenges in treatment and survival. A statistic I find very hard to grasp is that as many as 31% of these women will not survive beyond five years post-diagnosis.

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!

A scary challenge, but you overcame several in your fitness queen years… the body may be a bit weaker, but the determination won’t be.
