Our Story …

We 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 over 8 days.


Why are we doing this..simple. Our family has experienced the loss of two of our parents in recent years to various forms of cancer. We recently witnessed our sister/daughter overcome non-hogkin’s lymphoma through the advancement in treatment and care made possible through the moneys raised through charities like Box Rallies and others


It is through the efforts of these charities that much valued funds are raised to assist in the research and effective treatment of so many conditions….may it continue!


Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and now in its 15th 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 Winter 2025 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.


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. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.

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.

Graeme, sounds like great fun as well as a great cause. I think one of my old cars (sold to someone years ago) takes part in rallies like this each year - glad I got it serviced regularly to set it off on a good life!
3 months ago
Hi Michael, It has been a while. I do hope all is well with you. I know you were interested in some boards etc, did anything interesting come up at all? The cars are a hoot, some people really go to great trouble in the way they dress them up. I have a 1994 ED falcon wagon, bit rough but will do the job and will donate it to the auction at the end of the rally. Again many thanks Graeme

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.
