"Inland Petroleum understands cancer is the biggest cause of death with one in two Australians being diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85 years," she said.
"Cancer not only affects those diagnosed but their family and loved ones too. The team at Inland Petroleum all know someone who has been affected by cancer.
"Many of us have watched family members and friends go through the horrific ordeal and in this case, we want to do what we can to help support and fund world-changing research to help more people survive.
"The Cancer Council and what they stand for is incredibly important to us all."
