Ben’S IMPACT WRAPPED HAS DROPPED
The final numbers are in. Check out Ben’s World’s Greatest Shave Impact Wrapped and discover how their funds will help Australians with blood cancer.
Help me take a stand against blood cancer
This year will be my Dad's first birthday.... 10 years since he flew to Melbourne to have a life saving Bone Marrow Transplant as a final chance against acute myeloid leukemia. Although it was a harrowing time, in many ways we are one of the lucky families, and I continue to feel that to this day.
We have come so far in our ability to treat blood cancers, but still we lose 17 Australians every day to this group of diseases. It's for those people and families, and the countless lives that their stories touch that the Leukemia foundation makes a tremendous difference, much like it has done for my family.
This year for the first time in 5 years I will be once again shaving off my hair to raise money for the fantastic work they do, as well as raise awareness for blood cancers as a whole.
If you can, it would mean a lot of you could donate to the cause.
Lots of love, Ben.
