Help me take a stand against blood(y) cancer

Well… cancer sucks. Full stop. I might not personally know anyone with leukaemia, but one of my absolute favourite humans is currently locked in battle with breast cancer — so I’ve decided to join the fight in the only way I know how: by dramatically removing all my hair. 👱🏼‍♀️ à 👩🏼‍🦲

Yep. I’m going all the way. Bald as a billiard ball. Shinier than a freshly waxed ambulance bonnet.

And don’t worry — my luscious locks won’t be going to waste!  It’s being donated to make wigs for people who actually enjoy fighting the knots that are inevitable!

So please support me in the World’s Greatest Shave. Your donation goes towards vital cancer research — and will also help me feel slightly better when I inevitably look like a confused baby bird.

Thank you for the love, the laughs, and the support! 💛🪮✨
