Our Story …

Buckle Up for Daze of Thunder! We're Conquering the Shitbox Rally!

Hey everyone, get ready for some outback adventures and a whole lot of fun! Ben and Sal are officially joining the legendary Shitbox Rally Winter 2024! This epic challenge sees us navigating the Australian terrain from Melbourne all the way to Alice Springs – all in a glorious (questionable?) $1500 "shitbox.

"Shitbox Rally isn't just about the journey, it's about raising crucial funds for the Cancer Council. As Australia's largest community-led fundraiser for cancer, this event has raised a staggering amount – over $2 million for the Winter 2024 target alone! With cancer touching so many lives, we're proud to be a part of this mission to fund research and support services.

We're calling our team "Daze of Thunder," inspired by the classic 90's Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman film (because let's face it, the outback might get a little… disorienting!). To participate, each team needs to raise a minimum of $5,000. We're thrilled to announce that we've already covered this initial goal ourselves, so every single donation you make goes directly towards making a difference! Also remember all donations are Tax Deductible!

Here's how you can be a part of the adventure:

Supercharge our mission! Every donation, no matter the size, gets us closer to exceeding our fundraising target. Head over to our Shitbox Rally fundraising page (link in comments) to make a secure contribution.
Spread the word! Share this post with your friends and family and let them know about Daze of Thunder's mission.
Follow our wild ride! We'll be posting updates on our Shitbox Rally experience, so buckle up and stay tuned!

Together, let's conquer the outback, smash fundraising goals, and raise essential funds for the Cancer Council!

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>After a long day in Sydney's pouring rain this weekend I am stoked to confirm through the awesome efforts of my mate Pottsy and my questionable apprentice skills we've managed to replace the clutch and radiator on the Mitsushiti! </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.

$46 million over the past 15 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.
