Our Story …
We are really happy to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally in 2020!!
Mystery Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for the Cancer Council in Australia having raised over $4.5 million in the last 8 years.
Part of the requirements for our participation is to raise a minimum of $3,500 but we hope to raise well above this amount. These funds go to the Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. They do some awesome work supporting people with cancer, and funding important research.
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 the blog post below.
Here's what I'm doing …
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."

<p>We are doing the rally to help the many people we know who have been affected by cancer, whether they are directly the person who was ill or a loved one. I have many friends and family who have fought this disease. Some won their battles and sadly many lost. My Aunty Sue died at 62 from lung cancer :-(. This broke my heart and I still miss her everyday. I also lost a childhood friend Craig Knox, to cancer last year :-( . I have had a friend from school lose her 4 year old daughter too. I have another friend from school, Melanie Standing who has hopefully won her battle against ovarian cancer! I also have had other relatives win their battles against cancer- Di Petersen is one xxoo. My biological father also now has cancer. There is no escaping the effects of this disease and the only thing I can think to do is to try to raise money to help find a cure for this horrendous, cruel and indiscriminate disease. F##K CANCER!</p>

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity
Mystery Box 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 Mystery Box 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:
- 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.
