Crew for a cure: Anneleise does the brave shave

By Anneleise Tollner

I’m doing it for cancer!

Cancer touches every community in different ways. It changes lives, families, and futures — and while none of us can fix it alone, every action matters.


So I’m shaving my head.


Not for attention. Not for symbolism alone. But for research. For hope. For the people fighting right now. For the people we’ve lost. And for the future we all want to believe in.


This isn’t about hair — it’s about courage, compassion, and choosing to act instead of staying comfortable. It’s about standing with people who don’t get a choice.


If you’re able to donate, I would be deeply grateful. If you’re not, your support, shares, and encouragement still mean more than you know.


Crew for a Cure. Brave Shave. Big heart. Bigger purpose.


Thank you for being part of this with me.

Wow!

Friday 13th Feb
In two short weeks, my incredible family, friends and community have smashed this goal out of the park!

I am so overwhelmed by the generosity and support, you are all amazing! I know this is a cause close (and maybe too close) to many of your hearts and if it helps just one person, it will all be worth it. I see you and I feel you. 

I’ve booked the big chop in - April 1st, but it’s no joke! Until then…. Let’s keep this climbing! New goal, same incredible human surrounding me. Thank you ❤️

Amazing!

Sunday 1st Feb
Thanks so much for your incredible support already! We have raised over $1000 in just a few hours… so I’m upping the ante! Thanks again for your contributions, kind words and for cheering me on! It’s just hair… it will grow back… but the difference it could make to someone else is priceless ❤️

Thank you to my Supporters
