Bashed and bent but still going

The Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and Gavin and Alison are excited to announce that they are taking part in 2022!! This spring, all teams will drive their shitboxes (cars under $1000) from Mackay to Darwin, via the Savannah way, hoping to raise $2,500,000 plus!

Like many of you, our lives have been touched by this dreadful disease. We lost our mother, Sandra, in 2016 aged 73 to lung cancer despite never being a smoker and otherwise extremely healthy. Around the same time, Gavin watched his close friend, Mick and his children, lose their wife and mother, Tammy, aged only 53 to the same disease, again a non-smoker.

Two years ago Alison’s daughter Jordan was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer, at the young age of 16, that until recently saw less than 20% of patients survive. Fortunately, research into this aggressive cancer has increased those odds greatly and Jordan is winning her fight.

We are proud to support such a worthy charity and help fund future cancer research. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 to support the research that could change outcomes for people like Sandra and Tammy in the future.

Fundraising is the critical requirement for us in this event and the hardest part. Any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated and help to change lives. All donations are tax deductible!
