Help me take a stand against blood cancer

This year I will be cutting and donating my hair for the second time. As lots of you might already know. I was diagnosed with Leukaemia over 12 years ago. The Leukaemia Foundation had helped myself and my family through that first 6 or more months while we stayed in North Sydney to get my treatment. This will be one way I can say my thankyou while donating my hair at the same time to make wigs.

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.
