We’re absolutely thrilled to share that Pete and Col are hitting the road again for Shitbox Rally 2025 - Winter, driving our beloved 1982 Mercedes, affectionately named Heidi, from Perth to Darwin! This marks our third rally, and it might just be Heidi’s final adventure, so we’re determined to send her off with a bang (not literally, of course)!Shitbox Rally is Australia’s largest community-led fundraiser for Cancer Council, now in its 15th year. Every team is required to raise a minimum of $5,000, but most go above and beyond, with the Winter 2025 rally aiming to smash a $2,000,000+ target. These funds support Cancer Council’s vital work, and we’re incredibly proud to play our part in this worthy cause.Fundraising is the toughest challenge, so any donation you can spare would mean the world to us and to Heidi’s grand finale. Please follow our journey on this page and check out our blog post below for updates on our adventure. Let’s make this rally one to remember!With gratitude,
Pete, Col, and Heidi
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.
$50 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
