The Leukaemia Foundation helps Australians with blood cancer
Leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma – every blood cancer matters to us.
We're one of Australia's most trusted charities, made up of patients, carers, healthcare professionals, researchers, specialists, and an army of supporters like our legendary World's Greatest Shave family.
We offer life-changing support, fund leading-edge research and campaign for change alongside our community.
When families face blood cancer, the Leukaemia Foundation is right by their side. Thanks to the hairy sacrifice of our World's Greatest Shave community, we're there with practical and emotional support, care and information. Because we want people not just to survive blood cancer, but to thrive.
Shave. Cut. Colour. Whatever you choose, you'll be fuelling real, tangible change for patients and their families.

Why take part in the World's Greatest Shave
Blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. There are 140,000 families facing blood cancer like leukaemia (leukemia), lymphoma and myeloma right now. And it takes the lives of 16 Australians every day.
For over 25 years, the World's Greatest Shave has brought together thousands of Australians every year to Shave, Cut, or Colour their hair.
Together, the World's Greatest Shave community is making a huge difference today.
Together, we're working hard to stop blood cancer in its tracks.
Every dollar you raise will help keep families together when they need it most. Will help provide them with practical and emotional support services to get through the challenges that blood cancer brings. And will fund groundbreaking research to shape a brighter future.
So come on, join us. We can't wait to welcome you and your (life-changing) locks.
