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.
Cancer has become shockingly common. I have had friends, family and students have to fight their way through cancer.
That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave.
I have been donating my hair and fundraising since my University days in the early 2000s. This will be my 6th hair donation and my 4th head 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. Even if you join the team or share this link with someone who can donate that will be a big help!
