MACA Cancer 200 (Ride for Research)
Fundraising – Macmahon has partnered with The Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (The Perkins) for a number of years and each year, we proudly participate in their annual 200km bike ride in WA from Perth to Mandurah.
Our team of riders has increased each year as has the amount of funds raised. In 2019, Macmahon participated with 49 riders, including team members from our Indonesian operations, and raised $234,729. The ride provides a fantastic opportunity for our people to come together as a team as well as exposing them to the important and rewarding act of charitable giving.
All monies raised provide The Perkins with the financial support they need to continue their efforts finding cures for hard to treat cancers which positively impact society on a global scale.
