Help me take a stand against blood cancer
In solidarity with students I will be shaving my head at the Scotch and PLC World’s Greatest Shave event on Wednesday 11 March, joining students’ fundraising and awareness efforts for the Leukaemia Foundation. My personal goal is to raise $10,000 for those who are affected by Blood Cancer.
As the Headmaster of Scotch College, I am incredibly proud of our boys who over the last three years have been one of the leading fundraisers for the Leukaemia Foundation nationally. As our Service Captain Jack addressed to staff "Scotch College has a strong history of supporting this cause, and it is one we are proud to continue."
Right now, over 170,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day.
That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. By donating to my page, you’ll help me raise funds and awareness for blood cancer, and fuel life-changing research projects and support services for patients and their families.
Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.
Thanks for having your say

Your Impact
Help me earn the Discovery badge. That's enough to fund 3 months of laboratory costs for a research project to discover better treatments for blood cancer.
I’m $347 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.
