Bathurst 6 Hour 2025

Race For A Cure

In Australia, 58 people will sit across from their doctor and hear the frightening words "you have breast cancer". You can give hope to these people and their families by supportinging Breast Cancer Trials through Race For a Cure.

Race For A Cure is an annual initiative created by Ben, Toula and Michael Kavich. Ben and Michael participate in the Bathurst 6 Hour event held every Easter, hoping to raise both awareness and funds for the live-saving research conducted by Breast Cancer Trials.

Since starting Race For A Cure in 2017, the Kavich family has raised over $200,000 for Breast Cancer Trials research. 

Having personally experienced breast cancer, the Kavich's aim to combine their love and talent for motorsport to help save spare as many Australian families as possible from the heartache and loss caused by breast cancer. 

About Breast Cancer Trials

Breast Cancer Trials conducts Australia's only independent clinical trials research program, bringing together 900+ researchers in hospitals and medical institutions across Australia and New Zealand.

We are on the front line of breast cancer treatment and care. We see the impact breast cancer has on people every day and want to end the pain and loss it causes.

This year, breast cancer is estimated to be the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian women.

Every day 58 people are diagnosed, that’s 1 person every 25 minutes, and eight will lose their life to breast cancer.

Together we can change this.

Together we are grounded and defined by one simple belief, we can and we will find new and better treatments and prevention strategies for every person affected by breast cancer to save lives today, tomorrow and forever.

Our research breakthroughs

Since 2021, the Race For A Cure initiative has been supported by Official Marketing Sponsor, Yellow Pages. By proudly sponsoring Race For A Cure, Yellow Pages has continued to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to stop breast cancer threatening the lives, hope and dreams of all of those impacted by this horrible disease. 

We are excited to announce that in 2025, this partnership will be shifting to Thryv, the leading small business marketing and sales software provider.

This change in sponsorship means that the car will be getting a design refresh, turning from yellow to orange, marking a dynamic new era in partnership with Thryv. 

While the colour may have changed, the mission remains the same and that is to push the limits, race for a cure, and inspire a community to make a difference.

We can't express enough how grateful we are for Thryv's commitment to improving and saving the lives of those impacted by breast cancer. Without supporters like Thryv, our research wouldn't be possible. 

Stay tuned for the new design reveal!
