Help me take a stand against blood cancer

I’m fundraising for this awesome cause to help kids who have had their childhood altered by cancer. My inspiration, Lani lost  her hair to chemo at four years old. Lani is my second cousin in law, a very feisty, 5 year old Bluey fan. 

The amazing support and treatment Lani and her Mum have experienced is how I know every cent raised by this charity makes a real and personal difference. 

Lani started school this year , but is still traveling hours for treatment every couple of weeks. We are thankful for the research, treatment and accommodation provided to support kids, parents and all families on this journey 

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.

What hairstyle should I try before or during my shave?

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 $978 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

Mission Accomplished

Tuesday 18th Mar
Today I passed the $1k donation mark, as promised I’ll be dyeing my hair purple tonight (hopefully). From the 21st I’ll be sporting a Mohawk (that was your pick) for a week prior to my shave on the 27th (provided it doesn’t fall out after bleaching tonight) Thanks everyone who donated and apologies in advance for having to look at my hair into next week. I feel it’s worth the sacrifice for an awesome cause & super happy with my amazing friends who contributed.

Goal achieved - why stop now

Tuesday 11th Feb
I achieved my original goal of $700 today, this means your amazing generosity has earned a week of me having crazy hair prior to my shave on 27 March. 
No need to stop now, and if you're considering a donation, I guess I should throw in an extra sweetener, how's purple hair from the day I reach $1000?

Donate to vote, crazy hairdo for a week

Tuesday 4th Feb
Hi Friends, there’s some fairly questionable hairstyle options in the survey that I may consider doing a week in advance. Most only go through this for 5 minutes while being shaved, but if I reach my goal early I’ll do the mullet / Mohawk / bowl cut a week in advance and wear whatever you vote for with pride. Donate for your say in how wild my “do” is… Thanks

Hi Ian, happy to donate to a great cause and am extremely excited to see IV with no hair, I'm sure you have built an anti electrical wave helmet to wear while you're hair grows back. 😡
