Alicia Williams and Shelley Robson successfully completed the Shitbox Rally Spring 2025, an endurance motoring event dedicated to raising funds for cancer research. The pair raised just over $5,000 for the cause, contributing to vital research while taking part in one of Australia’s most challenging and unique fundraising adventures. The Shitbox Rally requires participants to drive vehicles valued under $1,500 across vast distances, putting both mechanical reliability and driver resilience to the test!

Joining 240 other teams from around the country, Williams and Robson travelled from Tasmania to Alice Springs to begin the rally’s official route from Alice Springs to the Gold Coast. After the rally they made the journey back to Tasmania. Along the way, they navigated remote regions and demanding road conditions, showcasing determination and teamwork throughout.

Over the seven-day rally, the pair covered a total of 3,848 kilometres, including 2,565 kilometres of sealed roads and more than 1,283 kilometres of unsealed tracks. The event not only raised significant funds for cancer research but also highlighted the power of community-driven fundraising and shared purpose among participants nationwide.
