Our Story …

We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally in 2019!!

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 10th 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 $2,000,000 target.

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.

raised: $1,974,590

Been thinking about the challenge for Julie: Getting a lift home on the crossbar of your bike, making you navigate to a specific place on a complicated route all by yourself, or even riding backwards, like Bill suggested. But it seems there is something that seems to be altogether much more of a challenge. Even though we live close to each other and work for the same agency, we still only seem to catch up once or twice a year at school events, or when I drop into the office. So, the challenge is....a night out! Organise your sisters to come (maybe not in Teletubbies outfits this time), by yourself or with other friends! Challenge must be completed before you embark on the rally.

You are an inspiration Julie and I am in awe of the tireless work you do to raise money for cancer research. This money is donated in memory of my mother, and the 12 Mother's Days we would have had together if cancer hadn't snuck its way into our lives. I hope my donation will help make the lives of those affected by cancer a little brighter.

Jason, the sentiment behind your donation is beautiful and I am privileged to receive it in your Mum's honour. Every day, I see the benefits research has for my sister. Every year, I hear about exciting new developments from the Cancer Council. Your donation will definitely make a difference. Thank you x

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.
