$120 million..so far

World's Greatest Shave raises funds for the Leukaemia Foundation's important work – providing free practical and emotional support to people with blood cancer and their families, as well as investing millions in research.

Since 1998, over a million people have shaved
or coloured their hair, raising in excess of $120 million.

But your support for our biggest source of income
has never been more important. 

How the money helps

Why this cause is so important

Today 31 Australians will be given the devastating news that they have leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma or a related blood disorder. That's more than 11,500 people this year.

Although survival rates are improving, blood cancers like these are the second biggest cause of cancer death in Australia.

The Leukaemia Foundation receives no ongoing government funding, so supporting this event makes our Vision to Cure and Mission to Care possible.

The money you raise will go towards research, which is needed to find better treatments and cures for leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.

Your donations and sponsorship will also support families when they need it most, providing leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma patients with a free home-away-from-home near hospital during their treatment.  It will also mean we can transport them to appointments and provide as much practical assistance and emotional support as we can, all free of charge.

Please ask your sponsors to be generous, make sure you have fun and raise as much money as possible for the Leukaemia Foundation along the way.
