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.

<p>Dale and Ray are looking forward to the event.</p><p></p><p>our first shot at a vehicle has failed!. Our Citrone Berlingo Van with no first or second gear and numerous mandatory roadworthy repair requirements has turned out to be too costly to meet the $1,000 limit...So we are back in the market for an eligible vehicle. </p><p></p><p>does any one want a small van ?</p><p></p><p></p>

<p>Delete the request for a Van</p><p>Our Plan B has kicked in !</p><p>We have a secured a much loved but very sad 1995 Mercedes 4 door.</p><p>As an old Qld car that has been living in Victoria for the last 15 years she is showing the ravages of the Qld sun and living outside for all of her life. Vis: paint gone and any plastic part is now so brittle it shouldn't be touched. We are trusting that the running gear is in better shape and will last the distance.</p><p>Currently running over the mechanicals and a few test runs to assess just what we have and what's needed to make it to the finish line on 25th May '18. </p>

Plan B is in place and it looks like its a goer for the SBR!!!!. The C180 is proving to be better than it looks (who needs paint and plastic parts?). Have put some 500km into it with only a few issues, nothing major that can't be rectified and made safe for the SBR. We can now shift into fundraising mode.

Paul and Gael Thank you very much for your generous donation. Keep your fingers crossed 19th thro 25th May. We will need everything going for us to get the old girl across the 3,800km, of which some 70% is dirt. Ray n Dale P.S. Can I borrow your wheel ramps (think you had a pair in Melb?), need to look under the rear suspension and decide if the petrol pump need protecting. Ray rayjwood@bigpond.com

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.
