Ross’s Journey: How the Mater Foundation helped his breast cancer.

Ross’s story is a testament to the unexpected twists life can take. One evening, after a shower, he noticed a small lump in his right breast. Concerned, he showed it to his wife, a nurse. Her immediate reaction was to see a GP the next day. Ross’s diagnosis was a surprise to him, as well as many others: breast cancer, which affects 1 in 200 men.

Through the care and expertise at Mater Hospital, Ross received the necessary treatment for his breast cancer. His experience highlights the critical role of fundraising efforts like the Mater Cars for Cancer draws. These draws directly support cancer research and make treatments easier for patients and their families.

 

Ross recalls his journey with chemotherapy, expressing gratitude for the tangible benefits he experienced thanks to funds raised through Cars for Cancer. These resources not only advanced research but also provided much-needed support during treatment, underscoring the collective effort in fighting cancer.

 

This year, Mater Cars for Cancer is back with its biggest draw ever. The prize includes a Toyota LandCruiser 70 Military GXL with extensive upgrades, an off-road caravan, and $120,000 in gold bullion. The winner takes all in this incredible package.

 

The Toyota LandCruiser 70 Military GXL is a standout with its 4.5-liter diesel engine, dual cab, and a myriad of enhancements. These include 35-inch tires on polished rims, bolstered sports seats, an impressive sound system, a 4-inch lift, and a sleek canopy body. Kim and Ross even took the LandCruiser for a test drive, marvelling at its height, luxury interior, and powerful performance.

 

Back at home base, Lee checked out the 2024 Jawa Infinity 15 Caravan. This top-tier caravan comes with a plush interior and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, ensuring that the winners can enjoy luxury and comfort on the road.
