We’re thrilled (and slightly concerned) to announce that we are taking part in Shitbox Rally 2027 - Autumn!
We’ll be attempting to drive a car worth $1,500 or less from Port Augusta to Townsville over 7 days. What could possibly go wrong? the answer is probably: quite a lot.
As two 24 year old teenage girls with questionable mechanical knowledge, a humour unmatched, and confidence that far outweighs our actual skills, we’re taking on this adventure to raise money for an incredible cause.
Every team is required to raise a minimum of $5,000, and every single dollar goes directly to Cancer Council to fund vital cancer research. That’s what this rally is really about helping make a difference in the fight against cancer while proving that common sense is entirely optional.
Whether you donate $5 or $500, every contribution helps us get closer to our goal and supports life-changing cancer research and if you really think about it these donations are tax deductible so use some girl math and it’s actually free money your giving!
Please help send off on the adventure of a lifetime in a car that probably should’ve been retired years ago. We promise vlogs, Renee crying, plenty of laughs, questionable decisions, and hopefully making it to the finish line.
Thank you for your support! ❤️
Sharon Strezlecki All-Stars are driving a $1,500 car from Port Augusta to Townsville to raise money for Cancer Council
They're doing what!?
Shitbox Rally is a 7-day challenge like no other. Participants drive cars worth no more than $1,500 through some of Australia's most stunning (and often rugged) landscapes, all in support of cancer research. It's not a race — it's a challenge and more importantly, a celebration of the power of community.
Yes, the cars break down, and yes, there are plenty of unexpected twists along the way, but that's all part of the fun.
The rally is designed to be a colourful and unpredictable experience, where teams travel in small groups, helping each other along the way.
And when the day's drive ends, we gather around the campfire, share stories, and reflect on the day's achievements.
This event brings together people who have been impacted by cancer in different ways — whether it's through their own battles or through loved ones. Together we'll make memories that last a lifetime while supporting the fight against cancer.
