Colour your hair for blood cancer

Whether you go platinum-blonde, splice green, or even rainbow, your new splash of colour will act as a canvas of hope. You're not just changing your hairstyle – you're changing the lives of Australians facing blood cancer right now.

Colour your hair for cancer. Sign up and raise funds for the World's Greatest Shave.

Why take part

Blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. There are 140,000 families facing blood cancer right now. And it takes the lives of 16 Australians every day.

Every year, thousands of Australians step up to Colour their hair for the World's Greatest Shave. It's the ultimate act of support for people facing blood cancer.

Every dollar you raise will help provide families with practical and emotional support to get them through the many challenges that blood cancer can bring. And you'll power Australia's brightest research minds, bringing us closer to our goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.

It feels incredible. Nothing compares. Join the World's Greatest Shave community and make a life-changing difference today.

“What a day it was! I took part in support of my Aunty who was diagnosed with leukaemia nine years ago. She had a bone marrow transplant that saved her life. Thank you to everyone who came and supported! I can’t thank the community, friends & family enough from the bottom of my heart!"
