Dear friends
As we gear up for the Shitbox Rally Spring 2024, I'm filled with gratitude and hope. Battling bowel cancer has been a challenging journey, but here I stand, living proof that with resilience, support, and determination, we can overcome even the toughest obstacles.
This rally isn't just a road trip; it's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of coming together for a common cause. The funds we raise will fuel crucial trials and research, bringing us one step closer to a future free from the clutches of this disease.
To my partner in crime, Melissa – this isn't just a joyride; it's a celebration of life, love, and the unwavering bond that propels us forward. Let's show the world that it's not about the struggle; it's about the triumph, the friendships forged on this journey, and the incredible impact we can make when we rally for a purpose greater than ourselves.
Here's to new friendships, unforgettable moments, and making a difference that echoes far beyond the horizon. Let's roll with purpose, passion, and a dash of the unexpected.
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.
$41 million over the past 13 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
