Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said “We wish Jason all the very best in the rally,” and, “It is such a great cause and will also be great promotion for Bowen mangoes and our region.”
With only have a few weeks until the Mango Madness team drive down to Canberra where the rally's starting line is, they reflected on the upcoming journey and the cause saying "We have no guarantee we're actually going to make it to Canberra to start the event, or to finish it. Breaking down all the time is part of the experience of the rally."
Jason aims to enjoy the experience while honouring his late sister’s memory saying, "We're trying to do it for someone that can't be here. It's good for honouring their memory, but it doesn't change what's happened."
The journey isn’t just about the car or the rally itself; it’s about giving back to a cause that has affected so many lives. "There are others in the family who are still fighting cancer," Jason adds. “Everyone’s life is of equal value, and that’s why we’re doing this."
Some people are lucky enough to fight and beat cancer, however, unfortunately, not everyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, survives. Your donations will help the Cancer Council continue its great work and any help is greatly appreciated. you can donate to Mango Madness at: https://autumn2025.shitboxrally.com.au/mango-madness.
