I'm fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave

My family friends and work colleagues

Almost everyone I know has been affected by cancer in some way or another. In my family, we have lost some, and thankfully been able to hold on to others. It has been a rough couple of years, but we have come out smiling. Yet throughout this, I have managed to help out in small ways to different areas of the cancer community.
This year I have decided to donate to cancer in a different way for me, and that's by shaving my hair🫣.

I will be shaving my hair at the end of February, as I'll be away in March, which is the usual time for the world's greatest shave. As for who will be doing the honours, well that's up to you😁 Whoever donates the most, and is within distance of me, will get to shave my head😳😳🤣
Please help me raise money by donating to this worthy cause, So please don't hesitate.
Much love to all 

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?

Your donation means that together, we're working to stop blood cancer in its tracks.

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