Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day. 

My best friend’s beautiful Mum, Mandy recently lost her battle against Multiple Myeloma. Her strength and resilience throughout her journey was incredible and so inspiring. 

Watching the heartbreak of my best friend and her family was the hardest thing I have personally experienced and not knowing how to support her through the process and grief is something I have struggled with.

That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. By donating to my page, you’ll help me raise funds and awareness for blood cancer, and fuel life-changing research projects and support services for patients and their families.  

Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.


I will be colouring my hair that has been blonde for many years and is almost down to my waist in length! (who knows if I raise my target amount I may even cut it! 😉)  

If you would like to help me and my children take part in this wonderful cause there is a “Join” button and I have named the team “Mandy’s MM Menace’s!” 

We will have a day of fun, laughter and take part in this wonderful event on Saturday May 24th 2025 with the location TBA! 

Please help me prevent more families and best friend’s going through what mine has. LETS DO THIS FOR MANDY!! 


Thanks for having your say
