Our Story …

We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2025 - October! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Alice Springs to Gold Coast.


Five women, fifteen years, two drivers, one old car. We are a group of five friends who have been praying together for fifteen years. About twelve years ago, inspired by the girlband movie The Sapphires, someone jokingly dubbed us the Praysations. Perhaps this is because we spend as much time laughing and lifting each other up as we do praying. Ten years ago, one of us lost a dear mother to pancreatic cancer. Four years ago, one of our group was diagnosed with cancer, is still on this journey, and has directly benefitted from groundbreaking new research. Tri and Vic are the drivers, but we are all in this together. Our journey has always been about hope in dark times, and about being stronger together. Please join with us in that hope.


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 October 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.

<p>The Pray-Station Wagon has departed on the first leg of her journey, after a last-minute scramble to replace the radiator and fit the donated roof rack! Our amazing friend Mark is driving her up from Bribie to Alice Springs. Our initial aim to roadworthy and register the car by August 1st was hilariously inaccurate. We were finally registered on 3rd October, thanks to huge efforts all round. We have had incredible support from friends, family and community to get us to this point and we are very grateful.</p><p></p><p>We've expanded our dedication to include Ros, Tri's aunt who lived the final 14 years of her life with cancer, and Abbi, the daughter of friends of Tri's who bravely fought childhood cancer. Alongside Eileen, we honour and remember them with our particpation. Linda's cancer journey continues, filled with hope and faith, we treasure her friendship and support. </p><p></p><p>We now have a facebook page where you can follow our journey: Praysations - Shitbox Rally</p><p>We look forward to seeing you there!</p>

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.
