Brave Shave 2024

I’m taking on ACRF’s Brave Shave this World Cancer Research Day to raise vital funds for research into all cancers.

2 in 5 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. I am one of those unlucky 2 and I want to do something about it!

The remaining 3 will be closely affected by a diagnosis. 

It's a deadly problem that needs disruptive solutions, starting with pioneering programs and revolutionary research. Because we know only brilliant ideas can tackle something as big as cancer. 

I am raising vital funds to support the 2 in 5 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. With your help, we can transform the way we prevent, diagnose and treat ALL types of cancer and put an end to this devastating disease.

Shave update

Well the shave was officially done a few weeks ago as chemo said it was time! I have been supplied with so many lovely hats and beanies to keep my head warm and have enjoyed wearing them all. Thank you so much to all who have contributed to this cause, it feels like such a positive part of my cancer journey to be able to give back to the research community who are looking for that elusive cure.

My motivation

Hi family, friends and friends I haven’t met yet! My motivation to join this year is driven by my own cancer diagnosis a few months ago. While I’ve always toyed with the idea of shaving for charity, with the addition of chemo to my treatment regime I was going to lose my hair whether I liked it or not. The up side for you is I can GUARANTEE I can’t  back out 🤣…
In fact my shave actually had to be carried out last night as it started falling out and I wanted to salvage what I could to donate to a wig charity so donate and I’ll happily send a pic of my shaved noggin as a reward! 🤣 otherwise I’ll update the pic on my profile here on the official shave day or once I reach my goal.

Thank you to my Sponsors
