Bondi Rescue boys' cancer cause Trent 'Maxi' Maxwell and Troy 'Gonzo' Quinlan / Pic: Justin Lloyd Source: The Daily Telegraph BONDI Rescue boys Troy "Gonz" Quinlan and Trent "Maxi" Maxwell are swapping the surf for motor sports to raise awareness of cancer, which has had an impact on both lifeguards' families. Quinlan, 25, from Bronte, has seen both his grandfathers die from cancer, and his father Brian, 67, is currently battling prostate cancer and had melanomas removed last year. "Working at the beach (melanoma) is something you have to be aware of," he said. Maxwell, who lost his grandfather to melanoma, invited Quinlan to get involved in the Cancer Council's inaugural Mate v Mate campaign, which encourages men to take each other on in the sporting challenge of their choice from March 16-24. Family and friends "back who they think will win" with all funds going to cancer research and prevention. The boys' challenge will be racing each other in cars in the Top Gear Festival.
