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. 

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.

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 $1,493 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.

I’m $4040 away from my next impact milestone. Please help me reach it.

I have reached my school's goal to shave my head. Thank you to everyone who has donated!!!!!

I am shaving my head not only for blood cancer but for raising awareness for all types of cancer.

I am also doing this in support of Mum who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021. Thankfully she is cancer-free now!

It is not until you make the journey that you understand the significance of losing your hair, but I know that you know. Proud to be your Mum.
