Help me take a stand against blood cancer

I’ve been growing my hair since 2020 and now it’s finally time for a radical change. What better way to cut it than to donate my tresses to people who will benefit from them!

Right now, over 170,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life 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 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.

Thanks for having your say

Your Impact

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 $1,339 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

Registered for The Shave!

Tuesday 17th Feb
Today I took the first step and registered my fundraising page for The World’s Greatest Shave! The date is locked in for Sunday 29th March and on that day I will be completely shaving my hair and going down to a #2 buzzcut!

I've been growing my hair since 2020 and it’s now time for a change. Instead of letting my long tresses be thrown away and go to waste, I wanted to donate my hair to those who could benefit from it being made into wigs for anyone who has lost their hair, such as cancer patients. 

If I can raise money for this wonderful cause and aid in the research and treatment of leukaemia then even better!

I hope you’ll join me on this journey as I say goodbye to my long hair and donate it to a good cause.
