Help me take a stand against blood cancer

This is my third time participating. In 2008 I shaved my head, and 2011, I had my hair coloured before shaving my head. This time around I’m cutting g and colouring my hair. I’d love for you to sponsor me. My goal is to raise $700.00. 

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.

Help me earn the Transportation badge. That's enough to provide a month of free transport for people who are too ill to drive after chemotherapy treatment.

I’m $779 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

My Updates

7 weeks

Friday 17th Apr
Wow it’s been 7 weeks since my natural hair colour. I’m still getting compliments on my hair and I try to mention that I did it to fundraise and raise awareness of the Leukaemia Foundation. 

Thank you everyone for your support - and that includes reading these updates.

Wow, i have been overwhelmed by everyone’s generous donations. 

Because the photos of my new hair have encouraged people to support me, I beat my last target of $1,000 easily - with over $1,200! 

I’m so impressed and humbled by your generosity but thought I’d try to keep up the momentum and see if together we can raise $1,500.

Thanks everyone for your support!
