Mum, Dad, Kyle & Lachlan have participated in the Shitbox Rally & the Mystery Box Rally in the past, so naturally it's MY turn with my lovely Fiance Ryan.
Our Team name is Team FireServicePlus & the Spring Shitbox Rally starts in Alice Springs on the 24th October and ends in the Gold Coast on the 1st November 2025. (Below is the map of our little adventure) For anyone who has not heard of the Shitbox Rally, in a nutshell we buy a "shitbox" (a car less than $1500) we throw sponsor stickers on it, we get it to Alice Springs, we travel around 3,500-3,900kms to Gold Coast in 9 days. We sleep in a swag each night which will be a treat if anyone is familiar with Ryan & I, I am less happy with the Swag & Ryan is more then happy with the swag.
Box Rallies has raised over $50 million dollars to date which is an incredible achievement, I have attached a little infographic that outlines where & what the funds are used for within the Cancer Council.
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.
$59 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
