Welcome to our fundraising page for the Shitbox Rally 2025 – Spring! 🚗💨
I’m David Undy, and my co-driver the one and only Stephanie Payne are hitting the road in October for an epic adventure from Alice Springs to the Gold Coast, and we're doing it in style... well, sort of. You'll soon meet Puff the Magic Wagon – our trusty (and slightly questionable) wagon. She may not have the horsepower of Phar lap, but she’s got a bigger heart, and that’s what counts, right? 🤞
It’s my second rally, but for Steph, it’s her first time. She’s in for a wild ride and i'm not sure if my ramblings have been enough to describe what an amazing event the Shitbox rally is for everyone involved.
We’re doing this rally in honour of my Mum, my Auntie, and Steph’s Nanna – all of whom have fought cancer with incredible strength. So while Puff may be a bit of a clunker, we’ve got big hopes for our fundraising. Our target is $5000, but we’re hoping to raise a lot more to support the incredible work done by the Cancer Council Australia.
Here’s where you come in – we need your support, donations, and sponsorship! Whether you're an individual or a business, every bit helps. Businesses can sponsor Puff the Magic Wagon from as little as $160 (msg us for details), and in return, we’ll proudly display your logo on our car and our rally webpage.
Think of it as getting your logo on a very exclusive, slightly rusted, rally car – a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! 😉
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.
Every dollar raised will go to supporting cancer research - services and programs that are saving lives, and we can’t do it without you. So please, help us reach our goal and make a real difference.
And don’t worry, we’ll keep the dad jokes coming along the way. After all, laughter is the best medicine… unless you have a broken leg, in which case, you might need a doctor. 😜 for anything else there's always cable ties.
Thank you for your support, and let’s get Puff rolling!

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.
