Hoist the sails and polish yer wheels, for the fourth BucCarNeers Queensland Adventure to be settin’ off through the wild roads o’ rural Queensland! 

Fer three voyages gone, this band o’ scallywags has braved the highways ‘n byways, raisin’ more than $60,000 gold doubloons fer the fine folk at Childhood Cancer Support. Aye, every mile we sail by road be a mile closer t’ bringin’ hope an’ help t’ families facin’ stormy seas. 

This year, we call upon new Buccarneers t’ join our convoy o’ cutlasses an’ carburetors. Bring yer wagons, yer jalopies, or yer trusty steeds o’ steel, dress in yer best pirate finery, an’ chart a course with us across the sun-burnt land. Together we’ll plunder the towns (with laughter an’ cheer), spread word o’ the cause, an’ fill the treasure chests with coin fer the little ones who need it most. 

If ye can’t join the crew upon the dusty trail, ye can still toss a coin into the chest. Every piece o’ silver, every nugget o’ gold, goes straight t’ Childhood Cancer Support, keepin’ families afloat in the roughest waters. So, me hearties, will ye answer the call? 

BucCarNeers Queensland Adventure captures some of the essence of a charity bash without the mortally wounding the wallet. When BucCarNers Queensland was on the drawing boards we wanted to include something special. A hint! It’s between our B & C and its U.  We wanted everyday people, young and old, working or retired the opportunity to experience something special.  

It’s a life changing experience to be a part of a group with a common goal of raising money towards Childhood Cancer Support.  Strangers quickly become besties, sharing laughs and special moments making memories and a difference for families living with childhood cancer.

How is our adventure different to others?

There are no age restrictions on vehicles or BucCarNeers. We are open to all ages and structure our journey accordingly. You can bring any vehicle that you have or would like to have. This could be an excuse to buy that classic car you have always wanted.  

Being BucCarNeers we are also aware of challenging times between pillaging and looting and ask no entry taxes, but you have to look after your own lodgings and banquets. You can live and dine like a king or a pauper. 

We know that you are busy, so we only ask for you to raise $1,000 for Childhood Cancer Support. Of course, you can raise more or a lot more and we hope you do.  

Every dollar we raise goes direct to Childhood Cancer Support.

Meet Tessa from the Sunshine Coast

Before their world was turned upside down, the Perry family lived a typical family life on the Sunshine Coast. But all of that changed almost overnight.

When Tessa began complaining of sore hips, Renee thought it might be a strain from daycare play. But within a week, the pain had spread across her little body, and Tessa had stopped walking altogether.

The diagnosis was devastating. Tessa had a Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma. Within a week, the family had relocated from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane.

Over the next 20 months, Tessa endured a treatment regime most adults would struggle to face: five rounds of induction chemo, an eight-and-a-half-hour surgery, seven rounds of refractory treatment, two bone marrow transplants, 12 sessions of radiation, and six rounds of immunotherapy. 

“Without Childhood Cancer Support, we would be lost. It’s not just a charity. It’s safety. It’s home,” Tessa's mum, Renee said.
