About Radio Rare

Radio Rare is a podcast where we share the stories of those in and around the rare and less common cancer community. Being diagnosed with a rare cancer doesn’t mean you’re alone. Radio Rare will dive into the human stories of the rare cancer experience, the innovation and the advocacy. Addressing the feeling of isolation experienced by so many, we look to create a close community of those affected by rare and less common cancers. Produced by Rare Cancers Australia

   Sarah McGoram, a rare cancer patient, will be climbing Australia's tallest mountain as part of Rare Cancer Australia's Kosi Challenge.

   Every year, more than 40,000 Australians are diagnosed with some form of rare cancer. And for those who are, treatments can be hard to find. And they can be expensive if you can get them.  Sarah McGoram knows this firsthand. She was diagnosed with a rare cancer at just 18 years of age, and still lives with it today. This weekend, Sarah will climb Australia's tallest mountain as part of Rare Cancer Australia's Kosi Challenge.
