Our Story …

The Shitbox Rally has been a long term, "mate that would be bloody unreal, but it'll probably never happen" sort of dream for myself (Karl) and long term car club friend Simon.
Since we first heard about the Shitbox Rally many years ago through customers in our business, we have always talked about how awesome it would be to take part - and it kind of became one of those "bucket list" adventures we thought we might get to do "one day"..... maybe.

... well the reason to MAKE it happen kinda hit me personally. Hard.
Around 18 months ago my world was turned upside-down when I discovered I had Lymphoma (blood cancer).
Thanks to nearly 12 months of modern medicine and treatments, I am pleased to say I am now 6 months in remission!!

But after going through Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy, seeing and meeting so many people going through much harder journeys than my own..... I knew I had to do something to give back to support survivors, and boost research into new treatments and preventions to all types of Cancer.

So, here we are - WE ARE TAKING PART IN THE SHITBOX RALLY 2025 - Spring!
This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Alice Springs to Gold Coast via Oodnadatta & Bourke!

SO WHY THE SHITBOX RALLY??
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 15th 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 Spring 2025 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.

These funds go to 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.

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.

$59 million over the past 15 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.
