Our Story …
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.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th 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 2023 Summer rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.
These funds go to the 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.

DEFIANCE DUO
<p>Thanks to David and Mel of RAY WHITE YORKE PENINSULA for becoming our major sponsor for our Team. Mel wrote a beautiful passage of her own of why she values this cause and wished to support us. </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>My mum Alie was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40, she had a mastectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. 20 years later it came back with a vengeance, her body was riddled with cancer. She was just 60 years young when we lost her. </p><p></p><p>The words and emotions I felt still cling to me today, just like it was yesterday – I could go on forever about my experience. Now, 8 years later, my mother’s death—and the months spent caring for her beforehand—remains the most formative time in my life. </p><p></p><p>Time has helped me become more at ease with her absence, and my children and grandchildren have allowed me to remember “Oma-in-heaven” in beautiful and unexpected ways.</p><p></p><p>I carry her with me always, but my grief now feels like something I have to offer—not only to the Cancer Council this will support but to the wonderful people who also share a similar story. Most importantly to the inspiring and gracious patients and families going through Cancer today.</p><p></p><p>It is an honour to do our small part in advancing treatment options and patient care for these families, and something that I’m certain would make my mother proud.</p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p></p><p>Thanks Mel, beautiful words.</p><p> </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.
$41 million over the past 13 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.
