Help me take a stand against blood cancer
I’m shaving my hair off because this cause is deeply Here’s a single big, heartfelt, all-in paragraph you can use or tweak:
I’m shaving my hair off because this cause is deeply personal to me and close to my heart in ways that are hard to put into words — I’m raising money for blood cancer research and cancer support in general because cancer runs in my family and has impacted my life far too many times. This isn’t just about losing my hair; it’s about standing up, speaking out, and doing something meaningful in the face of a disease that has taken loved ones, friends, and far too many beautiful souls before their time, while others I care about are still fighting this cruel battle as we speak. Every strand I shave is in memory of those we’ve lost, in honour of those still showing unbelievable strength, and in support of families who know the pain, fear, and heartbreak that cancer brings. I want this to be a reminder that no one fights alone, that awareness matters, that research saves lives, and that even small acts can contribute to something bigger than ourselves. On the 7th of March 2026, I’ll be taking part not just to raise funds, but to raise hope, to spark conversations, to show solidarity, and to prove that love, remembrance, and action are stronger than fear. This is my way of giving back, of turning grief into purpose, and of doing something bold to support a future where fewer families have to hear the words “it’s cancer.” 💛
