Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Well… Hodgkin lymphoma definitely wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card.
A few weeks ago, I was living life as normal. Then everything changed. At just 28 years old, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, and suddenly my life became appointments, scans, blood tests, and chemotherapy.
One of the hardest parts of treatment is knowing I’ll lose my hair. So instead of sitting back and waiting for cancer to make that decision for me, I’m taking back a little bit of control.
I’m shaving my head for the World’s Greatest Shave.
Not because it’s easy. Not because I feel brave every day. But because if I’m going through this, I want it to mean something beyond just me.
Every donation helps fund life-saving blood cancer research and provides vital support to people and families whose lives have been turned upside down by blood cancer.
If you’ve been following my journey, laughed along with my questionable dark humour, or simply want to help, I’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation—big or small—and every share genuinely makes a difference.
Cancer may be taking my hair, but it doesn’t get to take my spirit.
Here’s to taking back a little control, raising as much money as we can, and hopefully kicking cancer’s arse along the way. 💛
Thanks for having your say
