Why I’m Cutting My Hair
This year, I’ve decided to take part in the World’s Greatest Shave – not just for the bold new look, but because blood cancer affects far too many lives. Over 150,000 Australians are living with it right now, and 17 people lose their lives to it every single day. And with a family member who lives with blood cancer, this cause is incredibly close to my heart.
For me, this is more than just a fundraiser – it’s a way to stand in solidarity with those going through something incredibly tough. I’ll be cutting off 20cm of hair as part of the shave, which feels like a big change, but nothing compared to what people with blood cancer face every day. I might be losing my hair, but they often don’t have a choice. If cutting my hair can spark a few conversations, raise some money, and maybe even inspire a few more donations, then I’m all in.
Your support means the world. If you’re able to donate—whether it’s a little or a lot—it truly makes a difference. Thanks so much for being part of this with me.

I think Southam and the Mogul should double their donation, and then we will price match it if I can shave Darren’s head….
