What do divorce and car rallies have in common?
Well not a lot really but for me it started with a divorce and a decision to do something to prove to myself that I was ok. I was looking for something to balance out the hurt, trauma and uncertainty of my life being unexpectedly turned upside down. Finding the new me after almost 30 years of being part of a couple and a family.

So a car rally it was…. (No pressure)
Why a car rally?
I have no mechanical knowledge, don’t really like sleeping on the ground, not a fan of dirt, dust and mud, definitely need toilets and showers so it seemed like a no brainer to do a car rally.
Why Shitbox Rally?
Why not? Shitbox are achieving amazing things. Check out their page on where they have raised almost $42M over the past 13 years https://www.shitboxrally.com.au/the-cause to support cancer research.
Looking at the videos and following the Spring 2023 Rally it looks like everyone is having so much fun. They all looked really dirty though and there were a LOT of shredded tyres.
When I asked Jo to join me I was so excited that she was also keen to give it a go. Since Jo was involved there had to be tutus so hence the team name, 2Tutus. I’m pretty sure our tutus are going to be filthy by the time we’ve finished.
Follow us for updates over the next few months. We’ll happily share photos and videos of our journey and probably more information than you really need to know.
Help us raise funds to KICK CANCER'S BUTT!
