About
OUR MISSION
The Male Bag Foundation Ltd is focused firmly on men’s health:
To promote “awareness of, research into and equipment purchases to fight prostate cancer, through a not for profit foundation!”
Whilst capturing the spirit of adventure through our iconic Postie bike rides, the Male Bag Foundation raises awareness and funds for the fight against this insidious disease. More than 20,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in Australia this year, and around 3,300 will sadly lose their life to the disease.

EVENT
Saturday 19th March to Tuesday 22nd March 2022
Our iconic Postie bikes will leave Melbourne travelling through Shepparton, Swan Hill, Daylesford and returning to Melbourne. During this ride we aim to raise funds to support rural Australians.
Since 2013 The Male Bag Foundation has worked to uphold its major goals of raising awareness of prostate cancer and supporting men, women and families in rural areas of Australia to create more prostate cancer survivors. At the end of 2021 in rural Vic, SA and NSW 400 men a month were having safe, targeted, accurate prostate biopsies free from sepsis infections using the Transperineal Biopsy Machines ( TBM ) that were initiated and partly funded by The Male Bag Foundation.
Funds raised through his years ride will support hospitals in Shepparton and Hobart.
My Story
I never had any burning desire to ride a motor bike until I joined the 2013 Male Bag Ride and purchased a postie bike to ride 4600 km from Perth to Melbourne. On my eighth Male Bag Ride this year I will still be learning how to handle my postie with registration ‘POST8’ as I ride around Victoria filling another mail bag with donations for a very worthy cause.
I am joining this adventure to raise awareness into prostate cancer, helping patients and their families, as well as supporting regional areas with funds to assist with the purchase of a TBM that will save men the journey into the big cities for a Prostate Biopsy.
Please give as every little bit helps
