Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Hey, I'm Damien. I'm a year 12 student at Grace Lutheran College and I will be shaving my hair with many of my great friends and classmates.
Why would I be doing this? well you see cancer has always been something I have known. My grandfather battled with it in my early years and some of my first memories are visiting him in the hospital while he is getting treated.
I don't want anyone else to have to go what he went through and I hope that this will be able to help anyone who is suffering, not just with Leukaemia but all types of cancer.
I have wanted to be able to do the world's greatest shave for years, it's my final year of school, so I say lets just do it.
please whatever you can spare will help tremendously.
