Help me to raise funding for blood cancer

Right now, over 170,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day. 

I was diagnosed with a blood cancer some years ago. Now miraculously my blood is improving. However there is no cure yet. I am shaving my hair, my moustache and my eyebrows on Friday March 27 at Annesley Uniting. It is also my birthday party. Come and celebrate with me.

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.

Your Impact

Help me earn the Place to Stay badge. That's enough to give a regional family a week of free accommodation to stay close to treatment.

I’m $45 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

My Achievements

Help me earn the Discover badge. That’s enough to fund 3 months of laboratory costs for a research project to discover better treatments for blood cancer.

Hi Dave Is only a small donation as I've got a lot of expenses coming up, over a thousand on flute maintenance, new car windscreen and I'm hoping to replace my stolen bike.... Cash is very tight!
