BCC Rising Hope 2026

Bundaberg/Fraser Coast 2026

When we step together, we make strides.

Cancer impacts so many of us, and this year, we’re fighting back. Our team are taking on Relay For Life to raise vital funds for people impacted by cancer.

In Australia, around 134,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year. They could be our loved ones, our colleagues, or even ourselves. But we’re determined to make sure more people (and their families!) get the support they need.

To get there, our team are going the distance. We’re taking on the laps so Cancer Council can offer support services to families through one of the most difficult times of their lives.

But like us, your support goes far. Your donation can tackle every aspect of every cancer. Together, we can fund life-changing cancer research, prevention and advocacy — and make powerful strides against cancer in our communities.

United, we are stronger than cancer. Please donate to our team today and help support a cancer free future. Thank you!

So far this year we've helped provide:

3601

Kids with a SunSmart education

88

Calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20

48

Days of a PhD student's world-class research
