Hi everyone! We’re Josh and Sam from Sherpanators, and we’re excited to share that we’ll be taking on the Shitbox Rally 2025 - Autumn, driving from Canberra to Townsville! 🚗💨
Josh is suiting up for his second rally, while Sam is excited for his first. We are both thrilled to be going on this adventure together
This journey is deeply personal as we rally in memory of our beloved Gran, who passed away from cancer. It’s not just a drive; it’s our way of contributing to a cause that means so much to us. Our team name and car choice, a 1985 Subaru Sherpa, are a tribute to her, as we’re driving the same model of car that she had during our childhood. This meaningful connection makes this rally even more special for us, and once you see our car you will understand why!
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Shitbox Rally, Australia’s largest community-led fundraiser for Cancer Council, with a target of raising $2,000,000! Each team is required to raise at least $5,000, and every dollar we raise will go towards vital cancer research and support services.
We would be incredibly grateful for your support. Please consider making a donation to help us reach our goal and contribute to this essential cause. Follow our journey, stay updated, and see how we’re faring on our page.Thank you for joining us in this adventure and helping us drive change!
🚗🌟 Josh & Sam - Sherpanators
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.
$59 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
