Race For A Cure Drives Record Funds for Breast Cancer Trials
Team Thryv & Race For A Cure has taken out first place in the 2026 Bathurst 6 Hour event, marking a major milestone not only on the track, but for life-saving breast cancer research.
Over Easter weekend at the Bathurst 6 Hour, the Race For A Cure team took out 1st place, capping off an extraordinary campaign that continues to grow year-on-year. Following this year’s event, Race For A Cure has now raised more than $308,000 for Breast Cancer Trials which includes significant contributions from the team’s primary sponsor, Thryv.
Driven by supercar driver Thomas Randle alongside brothers Ben and Michael Kavich, the team’s first-place finish was described as an emotional and deeply meaningful achievement. Their campaign has always been about more than motorsport – it’s about turning personal experience into action.
Race For A Cure was born after the Kavich family’s mother, Toula, was diagnosed with breast cancer following the inaugural Bathurst 6 Hour in 2016. What started as a deeply personal journey has evolved into a powerful national fundraising movement, with more than $266,000 raised prior to this year’s event alone.
“Race For A Cure has always come from the heart,” explains Ben Kavich. “What started as something deeply personal for our family has grown into a platform that lets us give back in a meaningful way and keep pushing for better outcomes for others facing breast cancer.”
The team’s impact goes beyond dollars raised. Their story resonates with patients, families and supporters across Australia and shows how communities can drive real change.
The Breast Cancer Trials team would like to extend our sincere thanks to the entire Race For A Cure team – Thomas Randle, Ben and Michael Kavich, their dedicated crew, partners and supporters – for their unwavering commitment to our mission.
Your passion and generosity continue to inspire us and so many others across Australia. By using your platform to raise awareness and vital funds, you are helping to drive forward life-saving research.
With a Bathurst 6 Hour win now added to their legacy, Race For A Cure continues to prove that motorsport can be a force for good. As the total fundraising figure climbs beyond $308,000 and counting, the team remains focused on what matters most: funding research that saves lives.
