Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Earlier this year my grandfather was diagnosed with hairy cell leukaemia and he was in and out of hospital for about 4-5 months and he was getting better until he died with leukaemia (but not from it) and... it sucked. Donating might stop this from happening to other people or help make the treatment process a lot easier. It will also probably help save some other people (kids and adults) a whole lot of grief. We are also planning to have a crazy hair day at my school, so hopefully some other people (kids and adults) will be participating to help smash my goal. Also, my dad is going to join in by shaving his head and beard once I reach $1500, so I want to really make sure I hit that!
Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.

Woohoo! Go Alex. What an amazing thing to do for the leukaemia foundation. This would make your Gramfy proud. I can’t wait to see your Dad shave his head and beard off too. I think he’ll have a baby face under all that face fluff! 😊
