We are Daniel and Nick, two young rapscallions who have a passion for bundy rum, board games and helping out a good cause. We have decided to put our mechanical engineering knowledge (or lack thereof) to the test by signing up for Shitbox Rally 2023!
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Caner Council in Australia. It’s a great event and even better way to raise money to fight all forms of cancer. We’re super excited to be a part of this amazing journey, and can’t wait to drive our absolute sloppy-jalopy car from Newcastle to Townsville via Betoota.
As part of our entry into the rally, we need to raise a minimum of $5,000 to participate, but we’re hoping to raise much more than that. The fundraising is the hard part of the challenge, so we would really appreciate any donation that you are able to part with. Also, it’s worth noting that all donations above $2 are tax-deductible!
If you would like to follow our inevitable journey in disaster, you can find us on Instagram at @rumpigsandroundabouts. We will be documenting the car procurement, cosmetic upgrades and eventually the journey (including all the hiccups along the way). Any support you give is much appreciated!
See you in the dirt! The Rumpigs (Daniel + Nick)
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.
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:
