Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Leukaemia has had and continues to have a devastating impact on families around the world. 

I am taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave by colouring my hair in memory of my cousin, Neil.

 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.

I will be spraying my hair blue...unless I beat my target...then I go blue for a while longer!

Thanks for having your say

How long should my new colour last?

Your Impact

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.

I’m $584 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

My Achievements

Help me earn the Discover badge. That’s enough to fund 3 months of laboratory costs for a research project to discover better treatments for blood cancer.

First target reached :)

Monday 23rd Mar
Thank you to everyone who has donated since I signed up on Friday. Wow, I did not think we would reach the target set. Time to be more ambitious!

I was planning to spray blue streaks, since we reached the goal I will be dying streaks (semi-permanent).

Stretch goal - If we can raise $1700 by Friday I will dye all my hair blue.
