Help me take a stand against blood cancer

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've been growing my hair for over 2 years!! I'm going donate my hair to make wigs for kids with Leukaemia. 

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.

Only a 4 days left with my long locks! I'm getting my beanie ready 🥶 

I've been amazed at how generous everyone has been. I've now gone past the $5k mark, which is unbelievable. 

Thanks so much for everyone's kind words and support.
