Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Right now, over 150,000 Australians are living with the devastating impact of blood cancer – and tragically, 17 lives are lost 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 be helping fund vital research, raise awareness, and provide life-changing support services for patients and their families.
Every donation – big or small – makes a real difference.
This year, I’m adding a fun twist: when you donate, leave a comment with the trendy hairstyle you think I should get.
The votes will decide my new look!
