If I raise $1,000, I will donate 20cm of my hair - the most I’ve had cut off in three decades!
Right now, more than 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lives are lost to this disease every single day. The effects extend far beyond the individual, touching families, friends, and entire communities. This cause is deeply personal to me.
That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. At Penrhos, we believe in the power of compassion and action, and this is an opportunity to make a real difference. By donating to my page, you’ll be helping to fund vital research, provide essential support services, and bring hope to those battling this disease.
Every contribution—big or small—creates a lasting impact.
If I can raise $1,000 I will donate 20cm of my hair. I know it doesn't sound like much, but that's the most I've had cut off in three decades.
Thanks for having your say
