The Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave

The Leukaemia Foundation helps Australians with blood cancer

The World's Greatest Shave is the flagship fundraising campaign of the Leukaemia Foundation. Previously known as Shave for a Cure, this iconic campaign helps fund our suite of wraparound health services for blood cancer patients and their families, groundbreaking research projects, and helps us campaign for real, tangible change. 

Fueled by our community of patients, carers, healthcare professionals, researchers, specialists, and supporters just like you, we're committed to achieving our goal of reducing lives lost to blood cancer.

Why take part in the World's Greatest Shave

Blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. Today, there are 150,000 families facing blood cancer, and 17 Australians will lose their life. Every year, thousands of Australians step up to shave, cut, or colour their hair and raise funds in support of those affected.  

Every dollar you raise helps provide families with the support they need, while powering critical research projects that bring us closer to a future free of blood cancer. By joining the World’s Greatest Shave community today, you’ll help fuel real, tangible change tomorrow.
