Help me take a stand against blood cancer

Hello! We have nearly 5 years of hair to get rid of and I'd love for you to join me along the way!

Right now, over 150,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day. 

Working in oncology is my 9 to 5, so I have witnessed first-hand the impact cancer can have on people, their families and loved ones. That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. By donating to the chop, 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.  

Thank you for your generosity, I appreciate you.

Cheers, Tim.

#9 in QLD

Tuesday 18th Mar
Update overload at the moment but we've cracked top 10 in QLD for amount raised - wow! - an amazing effort by everyone for my first time participating. 
I've said before and I'll continue to say it, thank you to everyone so far who has helped reached these milestones. I've bumped out the next goal to $5500.
With the big chop tomorrow I look forward to reaching this by the end of March - perhaps even more!
Thank you legends 🧡

$5k!!

Monday 17th Mar
When I set out to do this, I truly didn't think I'd reach a $2,000 landmark. We are 2 days out from the shave, and 14 days until the end of March and I'm sitting at over $5,000. I just want to extend a huge heartfelt thank to everyone who has donated to, or shared the page to get the contributions to where they are.

Sunday 2nd Mar
Well a couple of days ago I hit my updated goal of $3000 and the support which continues to roll in is amazing and I cannot thank all of you enough who've taken the time to make a contribution. 
I'm now moving the goal posts to $4800 - the next patient milestone and I'm very much looking forward to the final push to reach this!
If you're visiting sharing the page, thank you. Let's hit this mark together!
