Our Story …
G’day.
Gilbert & Speirsy (The Nut truckers) here,
We’re raising $$ for cancer research by taking part in the SHITBOX Rally Autumn 2023. A 3000km journey from our home city of Newcastle to Townsville, via Betoota, over some of the most formidable roads…… all in a $1500 shitbox car.
Why the Nut Truckers? Gilly is a Cancer survivor and contributes a whole nut to the teams total of three. Speirsy’s dad is also a survivor, and we’ve both lost family and stood by our mates as they’ve lost loved ones to this horrible disease.
The Shitbox rally raises money for the Cancer Council, who manage research grants via the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Each year the rallies raise over 5 MILLION dollars for ground breaking research into cancer causes, preventions, detection methods, and support. We’ll do the hard yards, but we need your help.
We’re looking for sponsors, donations, good-will and help in any way possible. To get us to Townsville, and money to those most equipped to make the biggest difference in the lives of Cancer patients & their families.
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.
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.
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.

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.
