Here's a shot of me after shaving in 2009!
I'm fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave
As a family, we can't even begin to do the maths of how much the Leukaemia Foundation has given to support. I've done the shave before - but this time I'm setting an ambitious goal that might actually get us close to breaking even. For 20 years I'm hoping to fundraise $20k, and would love your support to get me there!
It's not an impulsive decision though, I've been growing out my (usually short) hair for the last two and half years to have something that's worthy of that goal.

Check out my before and after!

A strong start
Sunday 17th Nov
Wow - thank you to all of my early bird donors, but you've really tested the limits of my promise to match the first week!
For those who were generously holding off so that I didn't have to match you, now's the time!
I'll be shaving on the 3rd of June 2025 - so plenty more spam to come.
