The Unpaved Life

Shaving for Those We've Lost, Those Still Fighting & Those Yet to Face the Battle

Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lives are lost every single day. Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It can change lives in an instant. Our family knows this all too well.

This fight is deeply personal to us. We’ve lost loved ones, we’ve faced our own battles, and we’ve seen firsthand the devastation cancer can bring.

• My mum passed away from breast cancer.
• My father-in-law lost his battle with bowel and lung cancer.
• My sister is currently fighting breast cancer.
• And just last year, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer, forever changing my own journey.

Cancer has shaped our family’s story, but it won’t define our future. That’s why we are taking on the World’s Greatest Shave, not just for ourselves, but for every family walking this same path.

This year, it’s not just me taking part. It’s a family mission.
My son is shaving his head.
My daughter is cutting and donating her hair for wigs.
And we have started this team to bring together anyone who wants to stand with us, whether by donating, joining us in shaving, or simply sharing our story.

💙 Your donation will help fund life-changing research and provide critical support for blood cancer patients and their families.
💙 Your participation will show that no one fights alone.
💙 Your support could save lives.

If you’ve lost someone, if you’ve battled cancer yourself, or if you simply want to make a difference, we invite you to join us. Together, we can honour those we’ve lost, support those still fighting, and bring hope to those who will one day face this battle.

Donate, join our team, or share our story today. Every action counts.
