Our Story …
Chris, a two-time veteran of Box Rallies, has convinced Georgie she should drive a crap car in the outback and sleep in a tent for a week in order to share this "great experience"... Seriously though, the Shitbox Rally puts the 'fun' into fundraising for the Cancer Council - a cause near and dear to our hearts.
This rally (Summer 2023), all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Rockhampton to Hobart. We're taking Anthony's personal shitbox - itself a rally veteran, but unclear if it will make it through another long journey like this!
-- What it means to us? --
On 17 March 2022 we lost Chris' brother, Anthony Jacko, to cancer. One year and one day later we will be setting off in his old car on this adventure, raising money for a great cause, and honouring the life of a great man.
-- What's Shitbox all about? --
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.
-- What's the team name about? --
Memento Vivere is Latin for "remember to live", or at least that's what Google Translate tells us. Pretty good life advice, we think.
-- How do I follow your progress? --

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.

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.
