Help me take a stand against blood cancer
My name is Owen Ferry and I'm nearly 12 years old. I've been growing my hair for two-and-a-half years and it's now long enough to donate to help make a wig for someone who has lost their hair from treatment.
Did you know that over 150,000 Australians are facing the impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day.
If you are able to donate to my fundraising page, you’ll help me raise funds and awareness for blood cancer, help life-changing research projects, and support services for patients and their families. Some families have to travel far away and funds can pay for a place for them to stay.
Any amount – big or small – will make a real difference.

Your Impact
Help me earn the Transportation badge. That's enough to provide a month of free transport for people who are too ill to drive after chemotherapy treatment.
