In March 2025, I will climb Mount Kosciuszko for the first time, Australia’s highest peak at 2,228 meters. This climb is dedicated to the memory of those we’ve lost to cancer and those who are battling with it.

Together with the MSD Mountaineers, I’m joining the Kosi Challenge, organized by Rare Cancers Australia (RCA), to raise funds and awareness for people with rare cancers.

All donations will help RCA’s Patient Support Team, which provides:

  • Access to specialists and treatments

  • Support groups

  • Financial assistance during tough times

RCA is a registered charity, and all donations over AU $2 are tax-deductible.

Your support can make a difference. Every donation counts!

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
