Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Shaving My Long Locks for a Cure - Help Me Hit $5K!
Right now, over 150,000 Australians are living with the devastating impact of blood cancer.
-- 17 people lose their life to it every single day. It’s a brutal reality, and it affects so many of us, either directly or through someone we love.
That’s why I’m taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave!
Ready to make a bold statement, raise awareness and help fund life-saving research and critical support services for families facing this disease.
Yes, I’m shaving my head (About 70cm!!)
Yes, I’m committed to hitting $5,000.
Yes, I’ll definitely save on shampoo. 😅
But I can’t do it alone.
If you’ve got spare change, a few dollars or feel like making a bigger splash, please donate!
Every single bit counts. Truly.
Your support means the world, and together, we can make a real difference.

(I will also be donating my hair afterward, which will go toward creating a wig for cancer patients).
Thanks for having your say
