Our Story …
Cam Davies and I are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2023 Spring!! This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Port Douglas to Adelaide.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th 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 2023 Spring rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.
These funds go to the 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>Ok, so we have our Shitbox!!! Yippee, a Ford Fairmont from 1999 which ticks all but one of our boxes, pardon the pun. She's rearwheel drive (tick), got more than 4 cylinders (tick), poor traction on the rear (tick) and a sloppy autobox (boo hoo). </p><p></p><p>The climate control is a lottery, as the digital dash displays nothing, so this will be fun, and you never know if the boot is actually going to open. </p><p> </p><p>Bringing her home in the pooring rain earlier this week made me laugh due to the amount of opposite lock required to pick the correct exit. It is amazing how 20 years of suspension technology has improved traction. </p><p></p><p>Cam and I are looking forward to preparing her for the rally and getting stuck into the worthy fund raising. </p><p></p><p></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.
$41 million over the past 13 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.
