We are really happy to announce that we're taking part in Shit Box Rally in 2025!! Shit Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for the Cancer Council in Australia having raised over $10 million in the last 10 years. This rally will have us driving a car that cost less than $1500 along outback roads. We will do approximately 3,500kms in 7 days. We set off from Canberra & arrive in Townsville 7 days later – most travelling through remote Outback roads and towns. In order for us to participate we need to raise $5,000 and every dollar raised goes to the Cancer Council. We would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause & help us on our journey!
The fight against cancer is something very close to us. We have lost several close family members to this awful disease including Bruce in 2021 (Mike’s father and Jamie’s grandfather), Joe in 2021 (Mike's father-in-law and Jamie's grandfather) and Matthew in 1995 (Mike’s brother and Jamie’s uncle). In addition, we honor those friends and family members who are current battling this disease.
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.
$50 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
