Help me take a stand against blood cancer

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 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.

A bit about me

Thursday 13th Mar
I realized that not many people would know much about me and why I'm doing this, so here goes.

I've been growing my hair for the last 10 years, after I made a few bad choices, paid the price, and decided to change my life. 
5 and a half years ago, I lost my mum to Leukemia, my daughter's little sister rang the bell at the children's hospital the next year. 
A year later, my wife went in for surgery and we learned that she had had stomach cancer, but they managed to cut it out. 
Last year, my dad was diagnosed with cancer.
This year, I'm helping to make a change. 
10 years of growing my hair and I'm ready to donate it all to making wigs for cancer patients.

Please help me to make a difference
