Our Story …

What are we thinking?????


Mum's a HOPELESS navigator and I’m an EVEN MORE Terrible passenger but we will have a lot of fun - see outback Queensland - spend over a week together driving about 3,500km in a crappy car - WHILE raising a bunch of money for Cancer Research.


In May 2023 we are driving our Shitbox AKA "Buzz Box" from Newcastle to Townsville via Betoota (near Birdsville). Just wait till you see our cool car - which we haven't found yet........


We need to raise an initial $2,500 pretty quickly to get our Shitbox Car Stickers. Then we can use the car to raise more money with a final minimum goal of $5,000.


BIG GOAL - Be the TEAM who raised the most money in our rally.


These funds go to the Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.


You can follow our antics and find out about our fundraising events posted on our newly formed Facebook Page

We will also be looking for Sponsors so ask for more details.


Thanks for your support

Here's what I'm doing …

Shitbox Rally is the adventure of a lifetime challenging participants and their cars, worth no more than $1,500, on a 7 day drive across Australia to raise money for cancer research.

The rally is not a race – it’s a fun, colourful, unpredictable adventure with participants travelling at their own pace in smaller groups. Vehicles often break down but “we never leave anyone behind” and each night is spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the day’s achievements. It all adds up to an incredible opportunity to see Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make lifelong friends, many brought together after experiencing cancer themselves or seeing cancer impact family and friends.

Since it’s inception the rally has been the largest fundraiser for the Cancer Council nationally.

raised: $2,322,705

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity

Shitbox Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council.

Cancer Council is one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia. We conduct and fund research studies across all cancers and all stages of the cancer journey.

Thanks to the community funds raised such as Shitbox Rally we can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone.

$41 million over the past 13 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:

  • A research study to develop a vaccine that protects against lymphoma cancers.
  • A research trial to standardise international guidelines on melanoma removal.
  • A research grant to revolutionise the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
