• More than 12,000 Australians will develop leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma this year – or 35 people every day.
• Blood cancer claims the lives of more Australians than breast cancer and melanoma.
• Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma are types of blood cancer. They can develop in anyone, at any time at any age.
• Money raised from World's Greatest Shave funds blood cancer research and free support through the Leukaemia Foundation.
• The Leukaemia Foundation is the only Australia-wide charity dedicated to the care and cure of people with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders.
• That's why so many people are as passionate as us about this campaign... and why your support is so vital.
