Lachlan and John will shave their heads as part of the campaign running 10-13 March to help people with blood cancer, while fellow team member Ethan will colour his hair for the cause.
You can sponsor the trio as a team or individually – just $28 provides a cancer information pack to help a family affected by this disease to prepare for the challenges ahead.
The World’s Greatest Shave is the Leukaemia Foundation’s most important fundraiser, providing a fun way to lessen the impact of blood cancer in our community.
Dave Simms, head of fundraising at the Leukaemia Foundation of Australia, says that proceeds from the World's Greatest Shave helps fund urgent life-saving research and gives families the emotional and practical support they need, free of charge.
“Today, 34 Australians will be given the devastating news that they have leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma, and they’ll turn to the Leukaemia Foundation for help,” he said.
“When you’re healthy, it’s hard to understand the value of counselling, transport to and from chemotherapy, or being given a free place to stay during treatment if you come from a regional or rural area. But this support matters when you’re too sick to work, and financial and emotional stress levels are high.”
