Our Story …

In April 2024 my son Brandon and I are taking part in Shitbox Rally Autumn 2024! from Adelaide to Perth via Yularu. This is my third rally and the first for Brandon and we are aiming to make this our biggest fund raising effort date. Whilst this is Braddons first rally he has been helping to raise donations for the previous rallies and he has manned the BBQ many times for the sausage sizzle.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th year. To date the rally has raised $39.5m and overall target for our rallys is set at $2,000,000 plus.

Having lost both my parents and grandparents Julanne and Ray and my dog Jasper to cancer we want to make a contribution and raise funds for this insidious disease. These funds go to Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.

Here's what I'm doing …

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.

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity

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.

$41 million over the past 13 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:

  • A research study to develop a vaccine that protects against lymphoma cancers.
  • A research trial to standardise international guidelines on melanoma removal.
  • A research grant to revolutionise the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
