Voonga’s TribUTE

We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally Autumn 2024! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Adelaide to Perth.

Originally this race was to be driven by a great friend of ours, Kade Kenny (Voonga).

Kade’s mum passed away from Cancer when Kade was in his 20’s. When Kade became aware of this rally in 2021, he was keen to join his passion for cars, fun with friends and fundraising for the Cancer Council together. Unfortunately, Kade suddenly passed away last year and had yet to fulfil his hope to compete in this event.  

Josh and Jan-Michael, friends of Kade’s since primary school, have since decided to continue Kade’s idea to attend this rally.

Kade’s Ute will be the vehicle used in the rally (as pictured below) and will be auctioned off at the end of the rally to raise further funds for the cancer council.

It is a 1985 Ford XF Ute that needs a bit of work done to get her ready for the rally.  Josh is a heating and air conditioning specialist, and Jan-Michael is a mechanic and teacher.

Both have had a joint interest in cars for a long time and are keen to have this adventure together as a tribUTE to Kade. 

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.

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.
