The cause
What are the funds used for?
The money you raise from the Leukaemia foundation world’s Greatest Shave will directly support patients and their families when they need it most.
Your fundraising will provide them with a free ‘home-away-from-home’ near hospital during their treatment.
It will also mean the Leukaemia Foundation can transport them to appointments and provide as much practical assistance and emotional support as we can, all free of charges.
The money will also go towards research into better treatments and cures.
Please ask your sponsors to be generous.
