Buc-Car-Neers Qld Adventure 2026

I am fundraising to make a difference for families affected by childhood cancer

Hoist the sails and polish yer wheels, as we set off for the fourth Buc-Car-Neers Queensland Adventure to help raise funds for regional families who need to relocate for paediatric oncology treatment.

Childhood Cancer Support provides families with free short-term and long-term accommodation, fully equipped with everything they need, as well as food, transport and counselling services. They take away the added stress and burden so that families can focus on their child.

All funds raised will go towards building a new accommodation village near the hospital to support more families.  Please donate now to help me reach my fundraising goal.

My Updates

In memory of Brenton Knowles (forever young)

Sunday 1st Feb

We’re hitting the pirate roads again this September 🏴‍☠️

And we’re doing it for a cause that lives very close to our hearts Childhood Cancer Support.


This is not just a charity we support.

This is a journey we have lived.


In honour of our beautiful boy Brenton, we want to help keep this lifeline going for other families who are walking the same road we once did a road no family ever chooses, and no one ever forgets.


When childhood cancer enters a family’s life, it doesn’t just affect health it affects everything.

Treatment often means travelling to Brisbane for weeks or months at a time. While you’re there, life doesn’t pause. You still need somewhere to stay. You still need food on the table. There are hospital parking fees, accommodation costs, meals, medications for your sick child, and countless unexpected expenses that add up faster than you can catch your breath.


And back home?

The bills keep coming. Mortgages, car loans, electricity, phones, internet, credit cards  all the everyday costs that don’t disappear just because your world has been turned upside down.


The pressure this puts on families is enormous. It’s exhausting. It’s overwhelming. And it’s something no parent should have to face alone.


That’s where Childhood Cancer Support steps in.

They help ease the burden by providing accommodation, transport to and from hospital appointments, family fun days that offer a moment of normality, and practical support when families need it most. These things may seem small to some but to a family in crisis, they mean everything.


This September, we’re asking you to stand with us.

To help us raise funds so this support can continue.

To help other families feel less alone.

To help keep Brenton’s legacy alive in the most meaningful way we know.


Every donation, big or small, truly makes a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read, to care, and to support this cause that means so much to us. 🤍
