What an exciting day when we got the email saying we had been accepted into the Adelaide to Perth Shitbox Rally for 2024!
We were travelling around Tasmania for Darrens birthday when we got a message from our friends who had also applied for the rally. The message prompted us to check our emails and... double win, both of our teams had been accepted!
Our team "Bump n Grind" consists of Kylie (the boss) and Darren (the junior vice president).
It's not all about the adventure, new friendships and ridiculous outfits though.. It's also about raising money for those in need. I'm not sure I know anyone that has not been affected in some way by cancer during their life. In fact, it was what took Darrens oldest brother from him 15+ years ago. It is a real honor to be fundraising for the Cancer Council during this adventure of a lifetime.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the Autumn 2024 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.
The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Can you help us reach our $5k target, and beyond?!
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:
