Rock and Roll cures a lot of ills - but not cancer. Unless you are bulletproof like Keith Richards, there is a 50% chance YOU will be affected by cancer before the age of 85. So climb on board as the lads from Team Van Halen - in our 98 Toyota Spacia van - travel the perilous road from Mackay to Darwin.
The deal is simple - we will entertain you with tales of our trip across the top of North Australia, battling dirt roads, monsoon weather, snakes, crocs, Chicko rolls from questionable roadhouse pie warmers and of course the main challenge - can the little Spacia make the 3500km journey unscathed. In return, we ask you to give generously to our campaign. Really generously. And we will give that money to charity.
Did you know the Shitbox team work closely with the Australian cancer council? Thats where the donations will go - in many cases straight to the actual boffins who are researching how to beat this insidious disease that affects so many people. Have a read below on how they do it.
So People - dig deep and hit the link to give. Your body might thank you for it one day.
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.
