Cancer affects far too many people, and chances are it has touched the lives of people you know and love.
That's why we've signed up for the Shitbox Rally: an unforgettable adventure that combines a passion for challenge with an opportunity to make a real difference. We'll be driving a $1,500 car from Port Augusta to Townsville, tackling thousands of kilometres of rugged roads while raising funds for cancer research.
Because we are gluttons for punishment we are starting in Fremantle, That’s right! driving diagonally across Australia via the Gulf of Carpentaria in a Holden Commodore we bought for $1000, did we mention the water leak! Wohoo.
This isn't about the car. It's about supporting a cause that impacts millions of Australians and helping fund the research that can save lives.
Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to our goal and helps us make this journey count. Thank you for being part of the adventure.
Watch our Instagram page for all the fun of getting the mighty, pristine, brand new, one of a kind, white, V6 VX Commodore wagon up and running and on our adventure across Australia!

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.
