The Fire Service Plus owner is among the drivers in the annual Shitbox Rally, which involves participants driving cars worth $1000 across Australia with the aim of raising money for Cancer research.

Steve entered this year’s event after raising $27,000 as part of last year’s Mystery Box rally, in which he drove along parts of the route he will travel along in November.

He has already raised more than $6000 for his upcoming adventure, and said he can’t wait to experience the highs and lows of the journey.

“I’m looking forward to talking to other people in the rally, and hearing their stories about how they became involved,” he said.

“Having done some of the route last year, I already know some of what we are in for. We had a total of 12 flat tyres including four in one day.”
