Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 people lose their life every single day.
That’s why I have decided to take on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave, and have my tresses shaved off on 1st August 2025. 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.
Thank you very much.
Roo (Ruth D)
