Our Story …

Joel and I are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2025 - Winter from Perth to Darwin ! In a Falcon - woohoo

We are doing the rally - because we love dust, discomfort, corrugations and sitting in a 30 year old car days on end waiting for it to bust. But we will be playing tunes, bantering on the two way and seeing parts of the country that many of us never get to. And on top of that it gives us a chance to make a contribution to ensuring that the research into cancer continues and hopefully will benefit many many people.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is 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.

I hope you have Adam Sandler's "Piece of Shit Car" Song taped and ready for the cassette player! You’re about to take on an epic adventure in that beautiful piece of engineering you’ve got, and we can’t wait to hear the stories from the road. Just remember: it’s not about the car; it’s about the journey. Keep that engine running, and if things get a little crazy—well, that’s all part of the charm!

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.
