We are really happy to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally in 2020!! This will be the second rally for both of us. Tegan completed the MBR 2019, while Ben's car died in the MBR 2018 (haha #girlsrule).
Tegan's mother Denise died of lung cancer in 2015 just 7 weeks after being diagnosed. Sadly, she had already beaten breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer before being taken by this horrible disease. Denise was two weeks from her 65th birthday and left behind 5 daughters. Denise had spent much of her life roadtripping around Australia. Last year while rallying, Tegan spread some of her mum's ashes in all of the beautiful remote locations visited. Tegan plans to do this again on the 2020 rally so that her mum can continue on her adventures around Australia.
We rally to raise much needed funds for cancer research. Part of the requirements for our participation is to raise a minimum of $3,500 but we hope to raise well above this amount. Every dollar counts!
Teams will drive their own 25+ year old cars along a mystery route in this unique 5-day challenge, all in the name of cancer research. The route is a loop starting and finishing at the same location, but all the other details are kept under wraps, only given to the teams each morning.
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."
Mystery Box Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council.
