Help me take a stand against blood cancer
I've been overdue for a haircut for a while and have been considering a fresh, shorter style. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but think of the children I see on the kids' ward undergoing chemotherapy. These young patients often face hair loss, an experience they have no control over, and it’s one of the most visible reminders of their fight against cancer. The emotional and physical toll this takes on both them and their families is immense.
Shaving my head might seem like a small gesture, but it’s something I can do to show solidarity with these incredible kids and their families. By raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation, I hope to contribute, even in a small way, to easing the burdens these families face and supporting critical research into blood cancers.
While it's only a drop in the ocean compared to what these children go through, if my actions can make a difference, raise awareness, or provide even a bit of comfort, I believe it's worth it. This is my way of standing with them in their fight
