💇‍♀️ Bald and Brave: Why I’m Shaving for the Leukaemia Foundation! 💙

This March, I’m making the bold choice to go bald (yes, bald!) for the World’s Greatest Shave — and it’s all for an amazing cause.

Every single day, 53 Aussies are diagnosed with blood cancer, and 16 families lose a loved one to this disease. The Leukaemia Foundation steps in to provide life-saving support, from accommodation during treatment to funding crucial research. Their work gives hope to so many families, and I’m proud to be doing my part to help them continue.

I’m taking on this hair-raising challenge in honor of my Poppy Howard, who was taken far too soon, and for all those who’ve been touched by blood cancer.

Am I scared? Absolutely. Do I have any idea what my head looks like under all this hair? Not a clue. But I know this: every dollar raised will make a real difference for families in need.

So, if you’d love to see me rock the bald look and support an incredible cause, please donate here: [Insert link]. Your generosity will help make this terrifying shave worth it!

Let’s show blood cancer who’s boss! 💙

My Updates

🌟 Welcome to my World's Greatest Shave fundraising page! 🌟

Monday 27th Jan

This year, I'm taking on a challenge that absolutely terrifies me—I’m shaving my head. 😱 But as scary as this feels, it’s nothing compared to the battle faced by those fighting blood cancer every single day.

I’m doing this in loving memory of my Poppy Howard, who inspires me to be brave and make a difference. By shaving my head, I hope to not only raise awareness but also help fund vital research and support for those affected by this disease.

Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference. Together, we can bring hope to those who need it most. 💜

Thank you so much for your support—it truly means the world to me. 💛
