I'm fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave

The 3rd of June 2025 will mark 20 years since mum (Liz) was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. 2025 is also 20 years since her stem cell transplant (courtesy of my uncle Brendan), and 20 years of ongoing survival!

As a family, we can't even begin to do the maths of how much the Leukaemia Foundation has given to support. Six months of accommodation for a family of 5 in Brisbane alone would have been well and truly into 5 digits.

I've done the shave before - but this time I'm setting an ambitious goal that might actually get us close to breaking even.

It's not an impulsive decision though, I've been growing out my (usually short) hair for the last two and half years to have something that's worthy of that goal. It'll also be long enough to donate the hair this year, so no bleaching/colouring this time.

For 20 years I'm hoping to fundraise $20k, and would love your support to get me there!

(To kick things off - I'll match any donations in this first week from 11/11 /24 to 17/11/24)

Stay tuned to for more updates between now and June!

My Updates

A strong start

Sunday 17th Nov
Wow - thank you to all of my early bird donors, but you've really tested the limits of my promise to match the first week!

For those who were generously holding off so that I didn't have to match you, now's the time!

I'll be shaving on the 3rd of June 2025 - so plenty more spam to come.
