Brothers Darryl and Colin are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2025 - Winter! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Perth to Darwin.
It has been a long journey to the start line, starting from our birthplace in Zululand, KwaZulu Natal in South Africa (hence our team name) , to the top of Australia.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 15th year. 100% of funds donated here go to Cancer Council, with the Council providing full transparency on all the individual cancer research projects that would not be happening without these donations and so we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity.
Cancer impacts us all, in our immediate and relatively small family we have had cancer in every one of the last four generations - Grandfather, Uncle, Mother, Cousin, Brother and Son - so helping fight this terrible disease means a lot to us.
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.
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:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
