Help us take a stand against blood cancer- participants announced, Marco Holmes, Shalini Akhil and Tim Roach
Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day.
That’s why we are taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. Marco Holmes, Shalini Akhil and Tim Roach are our 3 volunteers taking part in this important event. By donating to this page, you’ll help us 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.
Thanks for having your say
