Our Story …
Total Funds Raised as at 3rd March, 2023: $48,800
2017 - $7,514 (with Brad Clarke) : 2018 - $6,940 (with Joe Addamo)
2019 - $23,205 (with Jon Hubbard) : 2021 - $1,050 (cancer cruise WA)
2022 - $600 (cancer cruise WA) : 2023 - $9,491 (with Ashleigh Watson)
Our target this year is $10,691 to take our total funds raised to $50,000.
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.
This is the 4th SBR I have competed in and this year it will be myself and my 21yo daughter Ashleigh participating in the rally and we also intend to drive from WA to Rockhampton in the week before to spend some quality time together (or that's the theory at least!)
Both our mums and grand-mothers have had breast cancer and sadly my mum lost her battle in 2006 (to her 5th cancer type - liver) and we have lots of reasons to raise money again.
The mighty LEGGO car will be doing its third rally and I can't wait to catch up with old friends on the rally next year.
Martin & Ashleigh Watson
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.

Thank-you for the work you put in, to raising money for such a great cause. I currently have someone close to me going through the battle and it’s tough, for them and those around them. Be safe on the rally, and thank-you for making a difference in the world for both those fighting against it, and those whom have to witness loved ones going through it.

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.
