I'm fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave
HBlood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. There are 140,000 families facing blood cancer right now. And it takes the lives of 16 Australians every day.
These numbers are set to double by 2035. Unless we do something about it. That's why I've signed up for the World's Greatest Shave.
I'm raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to give Australians facing blood cancer life-changing practical and emotional support. And to fund critical research, bringing us closer to the day when zero lives are lost to blood cancer.
Will you be part of my World's Greatest Shave community and donate to my page?
Your donation means that together, we're working to stop blood cancer in its tracks.
Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.

Hi Maria. I worked with your mum several years ago at Ryco. My girlfriend has leukaemia and had a bone marrow transplant in Nov. I have actually just come home from spending a couple of days with her in the Leukaemia Apartments in Melbourne city as she recovers. I am so proud of you for doing this at your age and love being able to support your fund-raising girl. You truly have a beautiful heart. Happy 2025. Love Kerri
