You have heard of Thelma and Louise (if you are old enough!) now we have Donna and Joanne - So here we are after years of talking about and trying to get accepted – we are finally taking part this year, eeek! Over the course of 7 days we will be driving from Brisbane to Darwin (3,800km) across the outback to raise money for Cancer, which unfortunately has touched most of us in one way or another. As our team name implies, we will be making it up as we go along! Our go to kit will be duct tape, cable ties, bailing twine, sun block for Donna and a big smile! Our chariot for the week, aka “The Little Red Devil”, is currently home to mice, several bales of hay and can't drive more than 30km before conking out! Her fuel gauge and speedometer don't work (Joanne found this out the hard way!) Nevertheless, we have high hopes over the coming months (and after her make over) that she will be rally ready…. hopefully without the mice! All teams have to raise a minimum of $4,000 AUD but we are looking to raise much more and we are extremely proud to be doing our bit to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated. We are funding our own costs associated with the rally and a percentage of the money raised will go to the rally organises. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page, the blog post below and please follow The Little Red Devil on FB.
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.
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:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
