After an eventful 2019 pretending to be powerboat racers Gareth and Matt (a friendship dating back to high-school) have decided to focus their energies on something a little more productive, embarking on an adventure across Queensland to raise funds for Cancer.
Loosing their dads to bowel cancer had a significant impact on them both as such they have decided to do something in memory of their dads and also to improve their own mental health. The Mystery Box Rally 2021 ticks all those boxes and more . . . .
Mystery Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for the Cancer Council in Australia having raised over $4.5 million in the last 9 years. Setting off from Rockhampton & returning 5 days later, Gareth & Matt will drive a 25 year old car along approximately 2,500kms of outback roads! Each day will present a new mystery, as they have no idea where they are headed until the morning of!
Participation is not just about rally car driving (something we know they will do well) but also raising funds for the Cancer Council!
We would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause and help us on our journey!
Teams will drive their own 25+ year old cars along a mystery route in this unique 5 day challenge, all in the name of cancer research. The route is a loop starting and finishing at the same location, but all the other details are kept under wraps, only given to the teams each morning.
The rally is not a race – it’s a fun, colourful, unpredictable adventure with participants travelling at their own pace in smaller groups. Vehicles often break down but “we never leave anyone behind” and each night is spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the day’s achievements. It all adds up to an incredible opportunity to see Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make lifelong friends, many brought together after experiencing cancer themselves or seeing cancer impact family and friends.
Since it’s inception the rally has been the largest fundraiser for the Cancer Council nationally."
Mystery Box Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council.
