Our Story …

I first heard about the Shitbox Rally through a documentary two years ago and thought it was a great concept to raise funds for the Cancer Council. So, with a family history of cancer, I decided to sign up. After missing the cut the previous two years, we have finally got the chance to take part and to raise funds for the Cancer Council and to show support for our family and friends, both young and old, who have been affected by this disease. The Shitbox Rally is the largest community led fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and they are aiming to raise $1,400,000 from the event this year. The event will run from the 19-25 May and our journey will take us from Brisbane to Darwin in a car we purchased for $100.00 (a 1991 Shitbox Ford Laser). Having seen the great work that the Cancer Council provides for those with cancer and their families, we want to raise $10,000 to help them fund new research as well as help them provide support for all those affected by this disease. Soooooo, we need your help. To sponsor us, click on the donate button on the right and help The Rubber Chickens fight cancer.

Thanks Andrew and Dan

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.
