Thommo and Rhino are taking on the Shitbox Rally — Adelaide to Darwin! 🌅
Our team, Barely Rolling, is gearing up for an unforgettable challenge: driving a car worth less than $1,500 (Toyota Tarago family van) across some of Australia’s toughest and most remote roads… all in the name of a cause that matters deeply.
We’re doing this to raise vital funds for the Cancer Council, supporting research, prevention, and families affected by cancer. To take part, we need to raise a minimum of $5,000, and this is where we’re hoping you can help.
Every donation — big or small — pushes us closer to the start line and closer to making a real impact. If you’re able to support us, we’d be incredibly grateful. And if you can share our mission with others, even better.
💛 Donate. Share. Cheer us on.
Together, we can help drive change.
barely rolling are fundraising for Cancer Council
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.
