My name is Bronwyn, and in 2020, I was diagnosed with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour sarcoma. I could barely pronounce it, let alone understand what it was and what it would mean for me, but I found out very quickly that it is a rare cancer.
When I took on my first Kosi Challenge in 2024 with hundreds of other rare cancer patients, friends, families and professionals, all wearing our Rare caps, I saw all the other people who just “got it”.
Over 650 people will be descending on Thredbo this week (15th & 16th March) to take on Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, in a charity challenge to raise awareness and vital funds for rare and less common cancers.
Just a few more sleeps until the Kosi Challenge kicks off in Thredbo! If you are joining us this weekend, please ensure you’ve read all the details about the day so you can come prepared.
For Maddie’s 3rd Kosi Challenge, she will not only be taking on Australia’s highest mountain, but she will be conquering Australia’s second highest mountain as well!
