Daniel and James are really pleased to announce that they're taking part in Shitbox Rally Spring 2024! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Bendigo to Townsville via Innaminka and Betoota.
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.
Nearly everyone knows someone who has been affected by Cancer and the disease does not discriminate. On the 1st of September last year, James' close friend from highschool, Lucas, lost his hard-fought battle with Bowel Cancer at age 37. James learnt of his passing on the day of his funeral but was fortunate enough to attend via web linkup. It's a reminder to check in often with your mates and their families.
Daniel's best mate, Zach Bray was in remission from treatment for Bowel Cancer (2019) when he tragically lost his life in an accident last year. This rally will honour our two mates, Lucas and Zach as we carry their memory with us on our journey.
All funds raised 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 our Facebook page "Pulling a Swifty - Shitbox Rally Spring 2024"
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.
