Our Story …
Aaron and James are at it again in the little yellow cancer-fighting duck.. Quack quack! This will be our fifth shitbox rally and we can’t wait!
This rally isn't a race, it's a wild ride across some of Australia's most rugged roads, all in a car that cost less than $1,500 (yep, it's as sketchy as it sounds).We'll be driving our trusty old Pulsar (affectionately known as "Duck") from Perth to Darwin between June 19-28, all to raise funds for cancer research.
The Shitbox Rally is the biggest community-led fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia, and we're stoked to be part of it. Every dollar we raise goes straight to the Cancer Council and it's a cause that's close to our hearts. Like so many people, we've seen cancer affect loved ones, family, friends, colleagues, ourselves and this is our way of showing support.
If you'd like to chip in, cheer us on, or just laugh at our misadventures in a slightly questionable car, please follow us on Instagram @sbr_the_engineers or donate 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 have been shamed into donating to Engineers, because I had donated to Bonney's. And I cannot have favourites. And its tax-deductable. And if I do my tax return next Tuesday, I will get my money back. P.S., you are the favourite.

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.
$59 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.
