Help me take a stand against blood cancer
"Chris Tanti, CEO of the Leukaemia Foundation said that blood cancer now accounts for more than one in three cancers affecting school-aged children, yet it remains a largely hidden national tragedy." Leukemia Foundation Media Release 29 Jan 2026
"This year 350 children will be newly diagnosed with blood cancer"
I do not think that is fair, and I think that we can all make a difference by raising awareness and money for research.
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.
