Help us take a stand against blood cancer
Brendon and I are doing the World's Greatest Shave this year in memory of my beautiful Aunty Carmela who lost her battle with leukaemia in January.
I am doing the big CHOP! I'll be cutting my hair short and donating it to the Leukemia Foundation. Brendon is doing the big SHAVE and will be shaving all of his hair off!
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. By donating to our 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.
