Help me take a stand against blood cancer

in 2023, I was inspired by my classmates who did the shave for cure event at my school.  I have been growing my hair ever since! Now it might be long enough to donate to make a wig for someone has had to go through chemo.


Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day. 

That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. By donating to my page, you’ll help me raise funds and awareness for blood cancer, and fuel life-changing research projects and support services for patients and their families.  

Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.
