Our daughter, Lili, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of nerve cancer, when she was just 16 months old. What followed was a rollercoaster ride of testing, surgery, treatment and hope. We thought we had it beat, but she re-lapsed and we went through it all again for a second time. Thankfully at 17 years old, Lili is in remission and has been since she was declared a “long term survivor” at 8 years of age after being cancer free for five years.If it wasn’t for the generosity of others we never met who donated to cancer research we seriously doubt Lili would be with us today. So we strive to raise as much as we can to help other families that are going through cancer. The only way we can make a difference is by continued research, and that takes money.
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:
