Our Story …
Friends,
After Sarah's stroke in late 2015, and a subsequent diagnosis of Polycythema Vera, a rare, chronic blood cancer, our usually busy and adventurous lives changed quite significantly.
At first, it was all about Sarah recovering. Now, despite Sarah being really quite well again, things have changed as we always have to take medication, hospital visits and disabilities into account whatever we do.
Despite all of this, we decided that some adventure is a MUST, so we signed up for the Shitbox Rally New Zealand in 2017, a 1-week rally across the South Island in a very crappy old car, with lots of other crazy adventure lovers…..thanks to the generosity of our friends, coworkers and family, we managed to raise over $13,579 for Cancer Council Australia.
Now we are looking to do the same again in 2018, this time across the desert from Brisbane to Darwin in a $1000 car.
The Shitbox Rally combines our love for adventure and driving holidays with silliness, and of course, very importantly, supporting cancer research and help, which is obviously very close to our hearts. We have plenty of people in our close family and friend circle who suffered from cancer, and with Sarah's cancer being currently incurable (but hey, don't worry, it's a chronic illness, and I can live anywhere from 10 to 30 years with it!), the need for awareness and funds is huge.
This shall be our small part to ensure that money needed for research and support never runs out.
Please help us make a difference in cancer sufferers in Australia and world-wide.
In return we promise to have a BLAST at the Shitbox Rally 2018.
Don't forget to ask your employer to match your donations, and do please let us know if your company wants to sponsor us more officially.
Much love to you all!!
James & Sarah
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.
