Our Story …
Doug and Alex are both excited and apprehensive to announce that they are taking part in the 2018 Shitbox Rally being the largest community fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia now in its 9th year. Their team “Bay Sydney Rollers” will see them struggling through the harsh Australian outback dressed in ridiculous Bay City Roller (Scottish boy band from the seventies) costumes desperately trying to get a shitbox tartan car to complete the 3,800 kilometers from Brisbane to Darwin. All teams have to raise a minimum of $4,000, however most teams raise well above this amount as can be seen from the $1,400,000 target. These funds go to the Cancer Council a very worthy charity and any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Please follow our progress via this page and the blog post below. Thank you for your support.
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.
