Our Story …

We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2023 Autumn!! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Newcastle to Townsville via the legendary town of Betoota.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the 2023 Autumn rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.

Cancer is a complex illness that impacts every family in Australia. We are extremely proud to be supporting The Cancer Council as they work to combat cancer and support the people it effects. 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.

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.

<p>So our Journey starts...</p><p></p><p>Getting ready for the Autumn 2023 Shitbox Rally started with browsing gumtree. Scrolling past a multitude of cars without engines, missing fuel pumps and inexplicably cheap Range Rovers one evening we came across a hidden gem. A 1993 Camry wagon, reasonably priced with just over 250,000kms on the clock.</p><p></p><p>We were hoping for a cheap car that with a bit of work would carry us from Newcastle to Townsville (via Betoota) and hopefully help us raise some money for the Cancer Council.</p><p></p><p>We did not expect to be finding a car with a history.</p><p></p><p>Our Camry was previously owned by Philip, a planning engineer from Devon. He had recently passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. We were told about his struggle with cancer and the care and assistance offered by his local community.</p><p></p><p>It seems poetic that we get the opportunity to use his car to raise money for the Cancer Council, to fund research that will ultimately be used to provide treatment and cure people like him.</p><p></p><p>Thank you Philip, we will do our best.</p>

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.
