Help me take a stand against blood cancer

The time has come for me to take part once again in the World’s Greatest Shave, this year on the 25th of March.

Someone very dear to me — a beautiful lady I first met back in 1981, we did Precision Drill marching together — was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a bone‑marrow blood cancer. The wonderful staff at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre are doing an amazing job looking after her and even better, Shel works there as well. 🥰 As part of her treatment, Shel will be losing her hair. So I’ve made the choice to shave mine too — to stand beside her, to honour her strength, and to help raise vital funds for this incredible cause.
This will be my fourth time shaving my head, and without a doubt, it will be the most meaningful. I also have four other close friends currently fighting their own battles with cancer, and this shave is dedicated to all five of them — to their courage, their resilience, and their fight. 💗
Every donation, no matter how big or small, has the power to make a real difference in the journey to beat blood cancer. Your support would mean the world to me.
If you can, please visit my fundraising page and help me bring hope, comfort, and much‑needed funds to those facing this devastating disease.
Please stand with me, so together we can support this life‑changing cause. 💛
