Be Brave for Ants

By Kyla Marais

I’m doing it for cancer!

Hi all, 

I'm about to impark on a big 3-month adventure to India with Jack!

2025 is about being bold and brave. Before I jet off, I thought why not do something brave for favourite man - Ants. 

I've decided I am going challenge myself to shave my hair to support Cancer Council in their mission for a cancer free future. My beautiful, special dad went through the loss of his hair and his life to cancer, and I want to do this to honour him and the wonderful man he was. 

Because 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, I’m losing my locks to raise funds and show my support.  

Please sponsor me to support cancer research and provide vital services for Australians living with cancer.

Thank you for your generous donation. Together, we can free the future from cancer.

Thank you to my Supporters
