Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Anyone who has met me knows my hair has been my identity for a LOOOOONG time- from my first nickname early in primary school (shaggy), to winning yr 10 formal "best hair award" (tongue in cheek, and it happened to be red for the occasion), to many weirs and wacky styles in between.... more recently, I made it my goal to make 40 with a mop, to out do my dad by a decade, who went bald at 30 (so he says)....... alas, the time has come to loose the THIN MOP, and what better way them with a charitable cause!!!!


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.
