Our Story …

John (the little brother) and Mandy (his favourite sister) are thrilled to announce that we have been accepted to take part in Shitbox Rally Spring 2024! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Bendigo to Townsville. We have chosen our team name "Bobs Bakers" in honour of our 97 year old dad "Bob" who has spent his entire live volunteering and giving back to his local community.


Every single one of us has been touched by Cancer and the past couple of years have been extremely tough for our family and too many of our friends so we are honoured to have this chance to explore our beautiful country, make some lifetime memories, meet some like minded people and raise hopefully lots of $$$$ for a cause close to our hearts.


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 Spring 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.

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.

<p>So a week ago I decided that it was time that I got a bit motivated and put it out to the world that John and I are doing our first Shitbox Rally.... To say we have been blown away by the progress of our fund raising in 7 days is the understatement of the year.... To those people who have reached so very very deeply into their cash strapped pockets in these crazy times we can simply say THANK YOU.... you are amazing.... Cancer impacts each and every one of us and only you know your own how and why in the journey... to be able to help raise some funds towards such a worthy cause is humbling and we appreciate the opportunity we have been given...</p><p>I will continued to post all over social media so thanks again to all who have donated so far...</p>

Cheryl !!! I think is the third time and so I simply thank you thank you thank you.... our lives are all drowning in this insidious disease on a daily basis and much and all at this point when I'm running around like a headless chook and wondering why I thought this was a great idea.... I know that all the beautiful souls who don't have the choice anymore and all those battling on a daily basis are the reason why....

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.

$50 million over the past 15 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.
