Marc and Terry are taking part in Shitbox Rally 2023 Summer driving their Holden Barina "Super Breakdown Brothers" from Rockhampton to Hobart.
Marc's reason for participating being personally affected, whilst his father has overcome prostate cancer and his wonderful wife's mother, Lorraine, also overcoming breast cancer, sadly his mum, Alba, lost her fight to cancer in September 2022.
Terry's father in law, Jon, had a scare 2019 requiring one of his kidneys to be removed to avoid the potential spread and a sad loss of his aunt and uncle. Terry's also had many a friend be diagnosed and taken up the fight.
Cancer can make those in support roles feel powerless, Marc and Terry are participating to raise money so that one day no person ever has to feel the fear of a diagnosis let alone received one at all by raising funds for the cancer council.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th year 2023 Summer rally target set at $2,000,000 plus between all the teams
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.
