We are really pleased to announce that we’re about to set off in the Shitbox Rally Spring 2024 as team 5w Thinker Fluid! The Shitbox Rally has been running for the past 14 years and is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia.

As of the eve of departure on the rally, we’ve (all teams grouped together) have raised $2.1 million and counting. And a big shout pout to our donors and team sponsors as team 5Wthinkerfluid have now raised $5,800 (and counting).

In the next few days we plan to drive our Moan- deo 2wd shitbox from Bendigo to Townsville over lots of rough roads. Below is a video of a similar rally from last year for a little context about the event.

Cancer is something that has affected family and friends of both Mav and Peter. Be they currently undergoing treatment for cancer, cancer survivors and those that didn’t make it.

Having witnessed first hand the severe physical pain that goes through the body of a loved one with cancer in their bones, there is clearly room for improvement.

We want to do our bit by raising money for research with the desire that it will improve knowledge, understanding, management, prevention and riddance of cancer.

Part of the participation in the Shitbox Rally is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000.

Will you consider making a donation or sponsoring our team to make a difference for needed Cancer research funding?

These funds go directly to Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity.

The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation, no matter how big or small you can give is greatly appreciated.

Donation payments are handled by the official donation site which will issue your tax deductible receipt automatically in an easy to use way.

Read on below for the latest team news -things like our search for the victim car (AKA the shitbox), team events, interesting tidbits, shout outs and things of that nature. If reception allows, any updates and (mis)a00dventures on the rally itself.

Cheers

Mav and Pete
