I'm fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave

Having lost my Mum to cancer in 2005, supporting families and individuals with cancer, is a cause particularly close to my heart. My Mum always took the greatest pride in her long hair and by raising money to cut my hair and donate the locks to charity, I hope to keep her memory alive and support other families and young people experiencing similar circumstances. 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. These numbers are set to double by 2035. Unless we do something about it. That's why I've signed up for the World's Greatest Shave. I'm raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to give Australians facing blood cancer life-changing practical and emotional support. And to fund critical research, bringing us closer to the day when zero lives are lost to blood cancer. Will you be part of my World's Greatest Shave community and donate to my page? Any amount – big or small – will make a real, difference and allow those individuals and families who are facing the battle with cancer to know that they are supported.
