Our Story …

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


It's been a long time coming and now we both feel ready to share our story of losing our daughter and sister to Leukemia. Katie was 15 months old when she was diagnosed and fought bravely for five years.


Few of us are untouched by Cancer and many of you will have our own story.


So please join with us in celebrating those that we have loved and lost – and in supporting research to brighten the future.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community led fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and has raised over $45,000,000 since its inception. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount.

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.


With sincere thanks, Ross and Benjamin May

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>Exciting news ­– thanks to you!</p><p>How amazing are you! I'm so proud of our group of family, friends and colleagues who have generously supported Benjamin and I as we seek to raise $20,000 for cancer research and to honour Katie on the 25th anniversary of her death.</p><p>We're nearly up to $8,000 - yippee!&nbsp;So, as a small token of our thanks, we've had a word with the tax office and they assure us that if you make a donation this week, they'll chip in with a tax rebate next week - how awesome is that!&nbsp;And guess what else! Turns out the Shitbox Rally is not really a race?? But what if we make it one! A race to raise as much money as we can to help make sure fewer people we love will suffer in the future than in the past – I reckon that's worth racing for.&nbsp;Oh ­– and if you need further inspiration it's Ross' 60th birthday in August and just in case you were thinking of a special present – why not make it a donation – what could be more special?&nbsp;Here's a picture of Katie dressed as her alter-ego – Princess Jasmine. Katie was certain that &nbsp;Princess Jasmine could make everyone's dreams come true.</p><p>And don't forget this special limited time offer from the tax office ends this week.&nbsp;&nbsp;Donate now&nbsp;– you know you want to:&nbsp;https://spring2024.shitboxrally.com.au/mayhem&nbsp;Thank you, Benjamin and Ross May</p>

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.
