According to the Australia Cancer Council, cancer is Australia’s leading cause of death. One in two Australian men and women will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they are 85. Cancer is relentless and knows no boundaries. It affects the young and old alike and often leaves devastation behind. To help raise funds and hopefully make a difference to those battling this devasting disease, the ‘Sons of AnaCamry’ team (comprising of drivers Nathan Metcalfe and Peter Bonvino) will drive the ‘Shitbox Rally' in a 2001 Camry wagon purchased from a Brazilian backpacker on his way to Sydney Airport. They will drive from Port Douglas to Adelaide to raise funds for the Cancer Council to aid research for cancer. The Shitbox Rally is in its 13th year and is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council. Nathan and Peter and their families are incredibly proud to be supporting such a great charity. Any donation is greatly appreciated, so please donate if you can and follow their progress via this page and the blog post below.
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:
