We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2023 Summer!! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Rockhampton to Hobart.
Michel and I have both lost loved ones to the wretched disease that is cancer and leukemia, Michel's mother-in-law and my father especially but also very recently a dear friend of mine Cory Day last year in 2021. This goes out to you brother.
We bought this 96 EL Falcon Mobility Taxi from a family in Cranebrook, Penrith who very graciously gave us a discount to get us under the Shitbox Rally $$$ maximum threshold of $1500.
We see a bunch of potential in it as you rarely see this old stagecoach purpose built Falcons on the road anymore, especially ones that haven't been thrashed as taxi cabs (this one was a private use vehicle) with 150K milage and working order LPG system with actual A/C!
Stay tuned for our build on it, we're currently taking names for the Falcon over on @thecrownbardigan Instagram page. Get involved and hopefully we can ply some cash out of your pockets for a thrashing good time.
Cheers, Toby & Michel.
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.
