Please 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.  

Several years ago I also made the decision to donate my hair for a wig to be made, so a child with cancer can have their blonde hair back. After years of pushing through being teased and called Rapunzel, I am excited to also be donating my hair to Sustainable Salons. 

Any amount – big or small – will make a real difference. Thank you for your support.

Thanks for having your say

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 $477 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.

For years you pushed through the teasing and tears. Your compassion and determination to reach your donation hair length goal (20cm+) is a reflection of your strength and good character. Boys like you grow up and make the world a better place.
