I'm fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave

Blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis. There are 140,000 families facing blood cancer right now. And it takes the lives of 16 Australians every day.

These numbers are set to double by 2035. Unless we do something about it. That's why I've signed up for the World's Greatest Shave.

I'm raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to give Australians facing blood cancer life-changing practical and emotional support. And to fund critical research, bringing us closer to the day when zero lives are lost to blood cancer.

Will you be part of my World's Greatest Shave community and donate to my page?

Your donation means that together, we're working to stop blood cancer in its tracks.

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

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.

My Updates

Haircut options

Friday 31st Jan
Not long now! So I’m just going to hold a bit of a poll to potentially help decide the haircut style I’ll go with. There’s one on my fundraising page also but the options are quite limited so have decided to create my own.

Fundraising update

Friday 17th Jan
Wow! So, we’ve  just ticked over the halfway point and have managed to pass my initial goal already. I’ve not done anything like this before personally so started a little conservatively with my goal. I’ve decided to nudge it up a bit to see what we can do. Thanks for the generosity for those that have donated.
