I’m Shaving My Beard For Cancer!
I’m challenging myself to shave my hair to support Cancer Council and help tackle cancer.
Because almost 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! Every dollar raised will help fund Cancer Council’s life-saving research, prevention programs, and support services.
Thank you for your generous donation. Together, it’s all of us against cancer 💛
The money I’ve raised so far could help:
Provide 605 kids with a SunSmart education
The money I’ve raised so far could help:
Fund 27 calls to trained cancer professionals on 13 11 20
The money I’ve raised so far could help:
Fund 8 days of a PHD student’s world-class research

Mum always did prefer you clean shaven. Personally, I'm voting for the handlebar moustache! Worth losing the beard for such a good cause. X
