Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer. Every day, 53 Australians are diagnosed with blood cancer. That's one person every 27 minutes. 17 lose their life every single day.

Which is why I’ve decided to do something a little bold — I’m shaving my head and donating my hair to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.

Blood cancer affects so many people and families, and I want to do what I can to support them. By shaving my head, I’m standing with those who don’t have a choice about losing their hair during treatment — and by donating my hair, it’ll go toward making wigs for someone who really needs it.

Most importantly, I’m also trying to raise funds to help the Leukaemia Foundation keep doing the amazing work they do — from supporting families during tough times to funding vital research.

If you can, please consider donating. Every little bit helps and goes a long way! 💛

Thanks so much for your support — I’m nervous but excited for the big shave! ✂️

I’ll be sharing photos/videos of the shave – so stay tuned! 🎥
