Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Right now, more than 170,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 Australians lose their lives to it every single day.
That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave, and yes, I’m actually cutting it all off.
As a few of you may know or may have seen, I've been growing my hair out for quite some time now. All in preparation for a big change. For me, shaving my hair is a small sacrifice compared to what people living with blood cancer and their families go through. It’s an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, raise awareness, and hopefully make a meaningful difference to people facing one of the toughest battles imaginable.
By donating to my page, you’ll help fund life-changing research, provide vital support services for people living with blood cancer and their families, and help work towards a future where fewer lives are lost to this disease.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, genuinely makes a difference. If you’re able to contribute, I’d be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page can be just as valuable in helping spread the word.
So, before I go from having luscious locks to having absolutely none… help me make it count. 🪒❤️
Thank you for supporting me and, more importantly, supporting everyone affected by blood cancer.
