Our Story …

We're thrilled to announce that team KatAshtrophy will be taking part in Mystery Box Rally 2026! This rally will have us driving our 300ZX, that is 25+ years old along outback roads. We set off from Charleville and return to Charleville 5 days later, each day in between is a mystery, we have no idea where we will be headed until just before departure the next morning. It’s not just about the drive—it’s about making a real difference in the fight against cancer.

In order to participate, we are required to raise a minimum of $4,000. Every dollar raised goes directly to Cancer Council and helps fund vital cancer research, which is why we’re doing everything we can to hit our goal. Your support, whether big or small, will have a real impact. We would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause and help us on our journey as we honour the lives of our fathers Paul & Frank who both lost their lives to Cancer in 2022.

Here's what I'm doing …

Mystery Box Rally is a 5-day challenge like no other. Participants drive 25+ year old cars along a mystery route, 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.

Well, what could possibly go wrong? 😄 Wishing Team KatAshtrophy an amazing journey and hoping the old 300ZX keeps humming along for every kilometre. May the only breakdowns be into laughter, the scenery be spectacular, and the memories even better. Beneath the fun, though, I know this rally is about something deeply important, honouring Frank and Paul and helping families whose lives have been touched by cancer. I’m delighted to support you and will be cheering you on all the way. Enjoy the adventure, stay safe, and raise a mountain of money for a wonderful cause. ❤️🚘

Oh Pam, thank you so much for yhe beautiful message and your ongoing support. We definitely are keen to turn those kilometres into hope and keep supporting cancer research in everyway possible to help others who may be touched by this terrible disease or know someone who has or had cancer. We will continue to rally in honour of our dads and those who are either battling or have fought this thing. 🙏💖
