cancer is Australia’s hidden cancer crisis. Every day, 53 Australians are diagnosed, and 16 lose their life.
And those numbers are set to nearly double by 2035. Unless we do something about it. That’s why I’ve signed up to the World’s Greatest Shave.
I’m raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation, who provide practical and emotional support to patients and their families, and fund critical research projects.
Every dollar I raise will make a real, tangible difference in the lives of Australians facing blood cancer. Which is why I’m asking you to donate to my page.
A donation of just $30 provides an information pack to a family who have just received a diagnosis, while an $80 donation provides a night of accommodation for a family who has relocated for emergency treatment.
You have the ability to help me make a real difference, and any donation – big or small – will go a long way.
Thanks,
Frank

Shaving for Cancer fund-raising
Monday 24th FebHey everyone, my name is Frank Borgwardt, from Geelong.
Below are my thoughts and words, not a generic scribe.
I've signed up to the Leukaemia Foundation 2025 World's Greatest Shave. I will be raising money & looking for donations that will go towards Cancer Research and Support.
I'm planning for this happen Wednesday 16th April.
The initial target is $1500.
Listed at the bottom of this blurb are some further target incentives that could see me partially clad on stage in front of 150 people.
Cancer, in one form or another, has affected us all. We've lost or have friends & family that have won or are still fighting. I'm saying Fuck Cancer.
Do me a favour and please make a donation and share the shit out of this post to help me out.
I've included a link that should take people to the donation page.
https://www.worldsgreatestshave.com/fundraisers/frankborgwardt/2025
Or search World's Greatest Shave, and be sure to tag it to my name.
Donations of more than $2 through the link and website are tax deductible.
A bit about me..... I'm 60 and fortunate to be in good health and still have a mop that's not gone grey and hopefully worth shaving off for a good cause.
I've been a blood donor for for most of my adult life and stepped up to plasma donations for the last 10 years as my way to help community, l guess this is just an extension of that.
I've kicked in $100 to start, so please, if you haven't got much $5 or $10 helps, if you're doing okay, I'd love some more.
If you're fully loaded and can give a bit more, kick some of that into a good cause.
The hair's going whatever is raised.
$2000 face comes clean.
$2500 chest is shaved.
$3000 up on stage in front of 150 people at a club venue if authorised.
$8000 up on stage in boxers for the Shave.
I'm running a 1/2 rig dad bod, there is no six pack. 😳😁
