Maddy Jones was an 18-year-old in the prime of her life. One Thursday afternoon Maddy complained that she was feeling sick. On Saturday, she presented to an Emergency Department where she was diagnosed with the Flu and sent home to rest. By lunchtime Tuesday she was in a coma and nine days later she was dead. Maddy’s death from Sepsis was preventable.

The Maddy Jones foundation works tirelessly to raise awareness of Sepsis and its symptoms, to prevent others meeting the same fate.

Rally for a Cause started when a group of Fraser Coast business owners were faced with the unthinkable. One of their friends had a vibrant healthy child suddenly struck down with an aggressive brain tumour.

Thus the concept of RfaC was born. The Dunga Derby is the major fundraising event to support the Rally for A Cause Charity in their efforts to support local Fraser and Sunshine Coast families with life-limiting medical conditions in need of financial and/or practical assistance.
