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.
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.
Richard and Rod have both lost parents to cancer.
In 2023 it will be the 10 year anniversary of the passing of Richard's Mum from Brain Cancer at the age of 56, and this rally is an opportunity to recognise that milestone and raise greater awareness of cancer.
Rod's Mother Margaret passed away aged at 68 from Ovarian Cancer and his Father Louis Faucheux passed away at age 76 from Prostate Cancer.
Why are we called The DRty Shoey?
We named our team The DRty Shoey as we are big fans of Daniel Ricciardo (Australian F1 driver). He displays fair dinkum Aussie grit and class, maintains that legendary smile when things get tough and knows how to enjoy the good times - often with a race winning shoey!!
All great qualities to bring to the Shitbox Rally and show who's boss to fighting cancer.

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:
