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 from Mackay to Darwin.
Cancer does not discriminate!
Losing a sister, Aunty, Grandmother, Grandfather and friends to cancer, we decided it was time to put our fundraising pants on again.
Over the years, we have participated in a few events, with our friends, that have raised money for charities like ‘The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse’ and the ‘RFDS’.
Living on cattle properties in rural Western Queensland we often must rely on the generosity and empathy of others in our community especially in drought conditions or the fire season and floods.
In order to give something back, a few of us country gals decided it was a good idea to drive a tiny, busted ass 2 WHEEL drive car from Mackay to Darwin across some of Qld and NT’s roughest dirt roads, sleep rough, shower less, pay fines for goodness knows what and generally get right out of our comfort zones for a while!
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
These funds go 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.
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.
$41 million over the past 13 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
