help me avenge grandpa 😎

Hi folks 👋 

Around 19 400 Australians are diagnosed with some form of blood cancer every year, and currently nearly 150 000 Australians currently live with blood cancer. This is not a good number.

As of right now, there is no definite cure for blood cancer. Over the years, researched treatments have grown to include immunotherapy, targeted therapies, chemotherapy and stem cell implantation. However, most procedures aim to prolong remission and improve survival rates instead of completely removing the cancer, particularly if it is discovered at a late stage.

I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave to raise funds and awareness for blood cancers because my granddad has multiple myeloma and we need to avenge him. This battle against blood cancer will be brutal. Please donate to my page to help me raise funds and awareness for blood cancer, and proceeds will go towards life-changing research projects and support services for patients and their families, and also we need to avenge my grandpaw. 

We will be appreciative of any amount donated no matter how big or small - your donation will make a difference.

Thank you sincerely :)

Thanks for having your say

Thank you to everyone for helping me reach my goal of 245$!! All donations, big or small have helped me reach this, and I am very grateful for your generosities. That being said, we must beat Mr Treacher in donations, and also at 500$ I will now officially go bald. 

Thanks folks!
