We are Steve and Aaron, a team of brothers who are very excited for the Winter 2025 Shitbox Rally! We will be driving a car worth less than $1,500 through the outback from Perth to Darwin (~4700k driving plus 3600km to get from Canberra to Perth) to raise money for Cancer Council.
Why would we volunteer for this challenge?
The car we will be driving is a 2005 Honda Jazz.... unless it dies before we get to the start line. While it is a car that cost less than $1500 (including repairs) is worth far less as it is in poor enough condition that it is unlikely to ever be able to registered again for road use.
This will be Steve's 8th Shitbox Rally - He is a veteran of dodgy car fixes using whatever is available sometimes including beer cans and tennis balls. This is Aaron's first rally so he has the benefit of the optimism that comes from blissful ignorance.
We are so excited for this adventure, and we'd deeply appreciate any and all donations. Every dollar counts!
Thank you for your support of us and this great cause!
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:
