Help me take a stand against blood cancer

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.

Ever since high school I have constantly had the idea or rather great visions of shaving my head, and anyone who knows me has heard this phrase many times and witnessed my hair be the unfortunate victim to my mental discourse. I have been blessed and grateful to have a very healthy head of hair and whilst on occasions it has been subjected to some pretty awful styles I've never been brave enough to go for the full chop due to procrastination or poorly backed reasons 

Whilst life is proving to be quite turbulent both in the controllable and uncontrollable ways at the moment, alongside world news and personal experiences, there are individuals and families every day living through a new cancer diagnosis or striving to survive the battle of such diseases. Whilst I am in the UK i will be raising money for both awareness and support for blood cancer through the Leukaemia Foundation in Australian and through Macmillan Cancer support in the UK. In support and in efforts to provide meaningful and well placed intentions I will be cutting and donating my hair to a foundation that helps deliver support to children living with cancer (Little Princess Trust UK). In the hopes to help those fighting cancer and to support those who have lost loved ones I will also be aiming to raise as much money as I can in the given time to donate to the Leukaemia Foundation. I would very much appreciate your support and encouragement in any way, shape or form as I strive to complete my goal!

Thanks for having your say
