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.
One of the only treatments for Leukemia causes patients to lose their hair, and massively disrupts their lives. But cancer isn't special. I am taking on the World's Greatest Shave, to prove that cancer isn't the only one that can cause people to go bald.
By donating, you can help rase funds for life-saving research to develop more effective treatments that could save and improve thousands of lives.
