We're doing another rally! But things are a little different this time...
After we completed our second rally in 2022 (Port Douglas to Adelaide) I told Mase we needed a break. We'd seen some epic parts of Australia I never expected to visit but the rallies are a lot of work so we intended to take a little hiatus for a few years until a really cool route came out. I wanted to wait until there was a WA rally...
And then of course, such is life - after spending five years raising money for Cancer Council, I suddenly found myself in need of those same research funds.
This route (Perth to Darwin) was announced shortly shortly after my diagnosis. Mase actually applied for us on the day of my second craniotomy knowing it was the route I was waiting for!
It's an interesting feeling to know that the funds we raise will actually go to research that can save my life so here's hoping they put a decent chunk aside specifically for brain cancer!!
By the time this rally rolls around, I will still be doing my chemotherapy. A long slog ahead for me and countless others so let's raise as much as we can and figure how to fuck cancer.
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:
