MACA

🌭 Long weekend plans? We've got lunch sorted.

Come and support Team MACA at our fundraising sausage sizzle, with all proceeds going towards the MACA Cancer 200.

📅 Sunday 27 September 2026
⏰ 7:30am to 4:30pm
📍 Bunnings Belmont, WA

Whether you're recovering from the Grand Final, picking up supplies for a weekend DIY project, or simply chasing a snagger fix, stop by and say hello to our team of volunteers.

We'll be firing up the BBQ all day, so drop in, grab a sausage or three and support a great cause. Every dollar raised goes directly towards the vital cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

See you there!

It takes a strong team to get to the start line, and we're grateful to have the support of our 2026 Major Sponsors.

A sincere thank you to Muldrew Transport, Dananni Hotshots, WesTrac Cat and Orica for backing Team MACA on our Cancer 200 journey.

Your generosity helps fuel our fundraising efforts and empowers our riders as they prepare to take on 200 kilometres in support of cancer research.

We appreciate your commitment to this important cause and your role in helping us make a meaningful difference.

A huge thank you to Gateway Group WA for their incredible support of the MACA Cancer 200 Ride for the Perkins.

At our latest Team MACA fundraising event, Gateway Group WA General Manager Brett Baker proudly presented a fundraising cheque to Michael Bunting from the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, generated through their unique initiative, Harriet the Watercart.

For every hour Harriet works across WA mine sites, Gateway donates $10 towards vital cancer research. Named after Harry Perkins and proudly carrying the MACA Cancer 200 logo, Harriet continues to make a real impact both on and off site.

Thank you, Gateway Group WA, for helping drive meaningful change in the fight against cancer. 💙

John and Lindsey Moralee have found four legs, two wheels and one shared vision to raise as much money for cancer research as possible, is the perfect approach in the MACA Cancer 200 Ride for the Perkins.

The husband-and-wife duo has been doing the ride on a tandem bike for the past eight years and while it may have its ups and downs, they wouldn’t have it any other way.

“You either get a tandem and you get divorced, or you enjoy it,” John joked.
“We think it’s fantastic.”

The long-term supporters of the MACA Cancer 200, who taken part in the race 14 and 11 times respectively, look forward to the ride every year.

“It’s not a race, it’s not about that, it’s a great cause and a great social event,” John said. “And Saturday night’s huge with presentations from the Perkins and from the team captains and cancer survivors. It’s very moving.”

John, who also heads up the Perkins Alliance, said that for the Moralees, it’s all about doing their bit for cancer research.

Cameron Gessner had no idea that when he lined up at the start line of last year’s MACA Cancer 200 Ride for the Perkins, he was only seven months away from beginning his own cancer journey.

The news that he had stage 3 bowel cancer came like a bolt out of the blue for the fit and healthy 45-year-old.

“You get given a piece of paper that says, ‘mass suspicious of malignancy’,” Cameron said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Despite his diagnosis, Cameron still hopes to ride in this year’s MACA Cancer 200, joking that it’s been easier to fundraise this year, smashing his goal of $2500 and currently hovering just below $9000.

“It’s much easier to raise money when you’ve got cancer and you’re going to do the ride,” he said.

“What the Perkins do and how the business supports it is pretty amazing.”

Have wheels, will travel … and fundraise.

That was the plan for Team MACA rider Shane Lindsay who decided to boost his MACA Cancer 200 fundraising efforts by dusting off his scooter and signing up as a DoorDash delivery driver whilst on R&R.

Shane has already surpassed his initial $5000 goal, raising more than $900 through DoorDash and said he will keep fundraising until the ride in October.

Like many riders, Shane has a personal reason for wanting to raise vital funds for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, after his dad battled cancer in his early 50s.

Keep up the great work, Shane!
