Our Story …

$5558.00 and counting! Thats what we have raised so far.


We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2022 Spring!! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes (poetic Aussie term for old bangers) from Mackay to Darwin. We were originally in for the 2020 rally but the pandemic put a stop to that and for the year after.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th year. We have raised $5,558 so far but now we are in a new event year we keep on adding to that figure with your support. All your funds go to the charity, we pay for everything else; registration, flights, travel, car and accommodation ourselves.


We have had particularly generous donations from Eelco, Jorien, Karin and Henk, Rose, Peter and Lilis and others.

These funds go directly to the 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.

<p>Even though our fund raising figure looks low, it isn't. We've been onboard since before the pandemic and because we are overseas entrants from the UK, we couldn't attend because of Australia's understandably tight border restrictions. So we've rolled over a year we're at over $6000 and rising.</p>

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.

$41 million over the past 13 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.
