We are thrilled to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2025 - Autumn! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Canberra to Townsville.
After years of missing the registration period, we're finally getting our chance to participate in this incredible event.
Ben and Josh are taking on the 2025 Shitbox rally, to get our $500 1980 Mercedes from Canberra to Townsville, through the center of outback NSW and QLD.
We're passionately raising money for the Cancer Council. As Aussies we feel dutybound to contribute in someway to the search for cures, treatments and better outcomes for those struck with this terrible disease.
We’ve all been personally touched by cancer at some point in our lives.
Unfortunately we, Ben and Josh, have seen the impact of cancer on our own loved ones. Ben having lost his father to lung / throat cancer 3 years ago and his uncle to lung cancer this year. Josh has also lost an Auntie at a young age to Cancer and has seen the damage caused by people effected by it.
Looking at the statistics, it’s more than likely that you understand what that feels like. This fuels our dedication to this cause. We want to contribute to the Cancer Council's vital work in funding research, providing support services, and running prevention programs.
These funds support the Cancer Council, and we are extremely proud to contribute to such a worthy cause. Fundraising is the challenging part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Your support will help us reach our goal and make a significant difference in the fight against cancer. Please follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.
As shit car enthusiasts, we've learned to improvise and overcome challenges on the road. What better way to raise money for charity than to take a Shitbox on a road trip across Australia, and embracing everything the outback has to offer? We can't wait to hit the road and make memories that will last a lifetime! , we can't think of anything more fun than doing it in a clapped out Mercedes .
Join us on this journey: Follow our adventure, share our story, and donate to help us reach our goal. We will ensure to GoPro the best and most challenging parts and keep you updated. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Thank you for your support!
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:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
