Shaving for Shannon
Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer and one of those people is my dear friend and business partner, Shannon Sims.
While Shannon fights her battle, the least I can do is try to raise money for this great cause. And while Shannon has lost her hair through chemo, the least I can do is shave mine.
That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest 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.
