Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Late last year we were given the shock news that Mum was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. After simply feeling lethargic not long after the passing of her father (Pa), she went in for some blood tests to find out she had Leukaemia. I would hate to think where we would be if it wasn’t for the fast acting Doctor and team up at John Flynn Hospital. The journeys not over yet but thankfully Mum is tracking well through her treatment course, not without some speed bumps where we very nearly lost her. However all in the past now and onwards and upwards thanks to the great team supporting Mum and her fighting spirit  

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.

One week to go!

Monday 2nd Mar
One week until the big shave happens! A final push to raise money for something that has become very close to my heart. I am extremely grateful to everyone who has donated and cannot believe the amount raised so far.

The shave coincides with mum receiving her bone marrow transplant. She has ensured multiple rounds of chemo and this is the last life giving step. She has shown humility, strength and bravery during such a trying time. I am so proud of her and how she has navigated this challenge. 

I have decided if I manage to get to $5000, the beard will go as well! (My family and I are all very scared about what I will look like 😬)

The shave will be posted online next week. Thank you all for your support whether monetary, words of encouragement or both 🙏❤️
