We are stoked to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2022 Autumn!! Basically, we have to find a car (with a budget of $1000) and try and make our way across some of the country's toughest terrain, from Wollongong to Mackay. It's something that we have been dreaming about together for a few years.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 12th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 - and with your help, we're pretty confident we can smash that!
All funds go to the Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity having both been affected by the disease. 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 our instagram account @thecometsrally.
"What a great way to raise money for cancer and tick the Shitbox Rally off the bucket list with your best mate.
"Cancer is in just about everyone's lives - and you don't know when it will affect you personally, someone in your family, a mate or workmate. For me, it was one of my brothers - he beat the rotten thing twice, and we know as well as anyone how tough it is at the time, but it's the long term effects that we don't hear about.
"So dig in to your pockets and donate to a great cause and make sure to follow our journey to Mackay in 2022."

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:
