Help me take a stand against blood cancer
I have decided that it is time to move on from my mid-life crisis mode and get a haircut. To be honest I'm fairly sure my hair is on it's way out and I don't want to enter some sort of Bill Bailey or elaborate comb-over phase.
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
