Anika
8-year-old Anika is a fun-loving adventure seeker who is super excited to be involved in Krazy Kosci Klimb. She can’t wait to dress up and climb Kosci with her family.
Anika lives on a farm and adores animals – she has 6 dogs (5 Border Collies and 1 mini-Dachshund) and likes tending to the chickens.Anika’s favourite things to do include playing with her beloved puppies, playing soccer with her dad, and practicing her arts and crafts.
Anika recently went to Fiji with her family on her very first overseas trip, where she spent time looking after baby turtles and also celebrated a very special birthday! She loved being surrounded by the ocean and making new friends at kids’ club. She also learnt some Fijian language and traditional arts and crafts. No wonder she’s adamant about going back to Fiji every year!
Isaac
10-year-old Isaac has a big love for football, whether he's kicking the ball around with his mates or cheering for the Penrith Panthers live. Inspired by his hero, Jarome Luai, Isaac is determined to get fit and have fun while honing his footy skills. With the help of his physio Max at CPA, Isaac is working hard in the gym to build strength and speed—skills that will make him an even stronger player at school.
But football is just one of Isaac's many talents. He's a natural athlete, spending his free time at the skate park perfecting tricks, swimming at the pool or beach, and riding his bike. All this activity is helping him get in top shape to take on the Krazy Kosci Klimb.
When he’s not on the move, Isaac enjoys some downtime playing video games and singing along to NSYNC. His idea of a perfect day? Building Star Wars LEGO sets, catching a Panthers game, visiting Luna Park, and finishing it all off with KFC for dinner and mango for dessert.
Isaac feels incredibly lucky to be part of the Krazy Kosci Klimb and can’t wait to take on this amazing challenge alongside his mum, brother, and sister.
Hanisi
11-year-old Hanisi, also known as "The Determinator," is all about facing challenges head-on - and she’s as determined as they come! Her next big goal? Tackling the 18 km Krazy Kosci Klimb, and she’s committed to walking the entire way without a wheelchair.
Full of energy and always up for fun, Hanisi loves being active and social, with a bit of a mischievous side. Earlier this year, she attended CPA Sports Camp and had a blast meeting new people. On weekends, you’ll find her surfing and swimming at the beach and ocean pools with friends and family.
Hanisi's role model is Moana, who she admires for her strength and courage - plus, Moana comes from a Pacific island, just like Hanisi’s dad. If she could travel anywhere in the world, it would be to Rotuma in Fiji, her dad’s home island.
When she’s not out adventuring, Hanisi loves listening to Taylor Swift, going shopping, and heading out for breakfast or dinner - especially if ice cream is on the menu! If Hanisi could have any superpower she’d choose invisibility, so she could vanish anytime someone asks her to do chores!
Excited for the Krazy Kosci Klimb, Hanisi can’t wait to dress up, meet new friends, and run through the finish line tape with a huge smile.
Keira
Keira is a happy, bubbly 11-year-old who’s always up for a challenge. Living with her Mum, Dad, and two sisters, Keira doesn’t miss out on anything - they make sure of that!
She loves dancing, spending time with her friends, swimming in the summer, and sleeping in when she can. Recently, Keira started a pamphlet delivery job, which keeps her active and busy around town.
If Keira could have any superpower, she’d choose the ability to fly, so she could get places quicker - especially her dream destination, Fiji. But before that, she’s ready to tackle the challenge of climbing Kosci, side by side with her biggest role model, her mum. This climb is a huge milestone for Keira, who’s undergone major brain surgery to help with her epilepsy.
To stay motivated on the way up, Keira will be jamming out to her favourite song, I Made It by Tones and I. Once she crosses the finish line, she’ll be treating herself to a well-deserved bowl of hot chips, followed by some chocolate, of course!
Cooper
Cooper, better known as DJ Cooper, is famous for his incredible skills mixing tunes on the decks. But he’s not just a DJ - he’s also a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. Recently, Cooper was one of the STEPtember trainers, inspiring people to get moving and hit 10,000 steps a day, all in support of raising funds for cerebral palsy. Now, he’s taking on an even bigger challenge as a lead participant in the Krazy Kosci Klimb.
When he’s not lighting up the nightclubs or starring at events as a DJ, Cooper loves spending his weekends with family, watching movies with his brother and sister. He describes himself as an "old soul" with a passion for food - whether it’s fine dining or a late-night kebab paired with a block of Old Gold chocolate, he’s got diverse tastes.
To stay in shape, Cooper hits the gym and the pool regularly and enjoys beach walks with his dog. Thanks to the fitness boost he gained from STEPtember, Cooper is already in great form and ready to take on Kosci.
More than anything, Cooper is excited to be part of this incredible challenge and share the experience with his family. He’s ready to have fun, make memories, and conquer the climb.
Hudson
At just 8 years old, Hudson is already a go-getter, always on the lookout for his next adventure. He’s pumped to take on the Krazy Kosci Klimb and has big plans to make it unforgettable - by setting an Australian record for the highest trick shot with a basketball hoop, with a little help from his talented dad!
Hudson is soccer mad, and training for Kosci has been a blast for him, especially when it involves kicking the ball around with his mates. When he’s not on the field, he enjoys walking with his family and working on his running speed—so he can one day run as fast as his hero, Lionel Messi, and score more goals.
Hudson has a big goal in mind for this year’s Krazy Kosci Klimb - he’s determined to set a new Aussie record by making the highest trick shot in the country! With his dad carrying a small basketball hoop all the way up, Hudson’s ready to make this climb unforgettable.
With his energetic spirit and determination, Hudson’s ready to take on Kosci, break a record, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.
Charlotte
At 14, Charlotte is a firecracker with a sharp sense of humour and a love for adventure. Always up for a challenge, she’s gearing up to take on the Krazy Kosci Klimb as the ultimate exercise goal.
Charlotte is no stranger to staying active - she’s participated in CPA sports camps and is a huge fan of the beach, swimming, and relaxing in the spa on weekends. She’s also got a foodie streak, with Mexican tacos topping her list of favourite meals, and she’s even completed CPA’s Let’s Eat school holiday program.
When she’s not on the move, Charlotte enjoys her downtime cuddling her two cats, Percy and Oscar, playing cards and puzzles, and, of course, singing along to ABBA’s Dancing Queen.
