Our Story …

Hi,

Our team is Tim Rodwell and Craig Towers

We are doing this rally for the future.

The future people who are yet to get diagnosed with Cancer.


We have both lost close family and friends to this terrible disease.

The pain they suffered drives us to raise funds so that cures can be found.

We both have family and friends fighting this disease right now.

The money raised won't be able to help them, but it will help people in the future. Maybe it will be more of our family and friends, maybe it will be someone you know.

In our first rally in 2023, with the enormous support of our Rally Family, we were able to raise $61370

For this rally, we want to push that amount higher.

We need your donation to help us raise a truckload of cash. CAN YOU HELP?


Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 15th year and closing in on $50 MILLION raised.

These funds go to 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.


You can follow our progress in several ways.

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.

$50 million over the past 15 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.
