Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Ten years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. When I returned to school in June 2017, I was overwhelmed by the kindness and support of our community. Many students and staff shaved their heads to show encouragement and solidarity during a time that was incredibly challenging for me and my family. It was a gesture I will never forget.

Ten years later, I’m grateful to be in a position where I can now give something back. For the first time since then, I’m proudly returning to a bald head — this time to support others who are facing their own cancer journey.

The World’s Greatest Shave is a powerful reminder that no one should face cancer alone. I’m doing this to honour those who supported me, and to help raise funds for research, support services and hope for those who need it most.

Thank you for helping make a difference.

Thanks for having your say
