Our Story …

We're thrilled to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally 2026!

We're a mother-and-son team taking part in this rally because cancer has deeply touched our family and friends. We've lost immediate loved ones to this disease, and we know firsthand how devastating it can be.

At the same time, we've also witnessed the incredible progress cancer research has made over the years - the treatments that didn't exist in the past, the breakthroughs that are saving lives today, and the hope that wasn't always there.

That progress is the direct result of research, funding, and the generosity of people who believed change was possible. This rally is our way of giving back and being part of something bigger - hope, progress and the chance of a better future for those who may be touched by cancer.

This rally will have us driving a car that is 25 years or older along outback roads. We set off from Charleville & 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.

Every participating team is 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.

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.
