Our Story …

Finally! After years of waiting, it seems that this year we will be able to attend the 2022 Spring edition of the ShitBox Rally. We will be driving our shitboxes over the original route from Mackay to Darwin (which was initially planned for 2020).

Our team is called Double Dutch since we are both dutchies. Marco lives in Australia and Harm lives in the Netherlands (this will only be his second time down under, making this an even bigger adventure!). Also attending are Jeroen and Emil from the Netherlands in team Double Dutch II.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the 2022 Spring rally target set at $2,500,000 plus.

We already raised $6,635 at our previous WeGive page which is enough to meet our minimum. That page had to close, but we didn’t want to stop, which is why we opened this new donation page. We do want to thank everybody that has donated already on our previous page!

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.

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'm so happy that Bruce is going on another Shitbox Rally. Even more so with some Dutchies :). As you probably know, on our trip out to Alice Springs to begin the delayed Autumn Rally 2021 my father (Bruce) passed away frOM cancer. Our wagon with team GG-Meisters became known as Bruce from then on, completing the rally without a hitch. And no matter how hard we tried not one tire was lost and the engine never skipped a beat. I'm confident that he will do the same for you guys. Have a great time and geniet van de reis - een enorm gejuich !!!

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.
