We are taking part in Shitbox Rally 2024 Autumn!! We will be driving Billie Jean our purple shitbox from Adelaide to Perth via Uluru
Yolanda is a cancer survivor and Nikki has lost way too many family members to cancer. We are driving a 1999 Toyota Corolla. Its standout feature will be its purple paint job and is a tribute to the bus we travelled in some 25 years ago. The bus had an engine that needed constant care to keep going and regular push-starts. We have had many dodgy mechanical experiences, some of them successful some not. We are confident our Shitbox car will make it to Perth because it's a trusty Corolla and she successfully completed Autumn 2022 shitbox rally Wollongong to Mackay and then home to Tassie without missing a beat
Shitbox Rally is a fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 12th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000. The rally target is set at $2,500,000. (No pressure!)
As much as this rally will be adventurous and fun we also feel the fundraising is an important aspect. Cancer affects so many people and we are proud to support such a worthy charity.
The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. You can follow our progress via this page and the blog post below. We promise it will be a fun adventure. Come along for the ride!
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:
