Race For A Cure

Every day In Australia, 56 people 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 supporting 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 life-saving research conducted by Breast Cancer Trials.

Having personally experienced breast cancer, the Kavich's aim is 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. 

Bathurst 6 Hour 2026

This year is extra special as it marks the 10th year that Ben and Michael have competed in the Bathurst 6 Hour since launching Race For A Cure. That's 10 years of finding new and better treatments, 10 years of improving prevention strategies and 10 years of helping save lives.

Since launching Race For A Cure in 2017, the Kavich family have raised over $266,000 for Breast Cancer Trials research. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped make this possible.
