Help me take a stand against blood cancer

I'm dedicating this day to My Aunty Julie. We never got to meet, who passed away at the age of 5 from Leukaemia - I know she will be smiling from above. 

I am also doing this wonderful thing to show how much I admire my grandparents strength, courage and pure love, being right beside their daughter.


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.

Thanks for having your say
