Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Right now, over 170,000 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.

How short should I shave my hair?

Your Impact

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

I’m $1,549 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

Sh*t is getting real!

Saturday 21st Mar
My hubby and mum aren't too impressed that I've committed to the shave if i raise over $2k but while that's easy to say,  spare a thought for those suffering blood cancer or really any form of cancer and lose their hair without a choice due to chemo.   

I get to make the choice and in return the money raised helps those suffering and very much in need!

Support this worthy cause guys, at my expense :)

Day 1 and I'm already nervous!

Wednesday 18th Mar
To my 8 donors so far,  the biggest most sincere thank you!  Clearly people want me bald and uncomfortable!  I truly am blown away by the generosity so soon after creating my donation page!

Yes, I set a goal that I didn't think I would reach or at least thought would be challenging  ... but now I'm thinking HELP!!! HAHA!
