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.

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.
