I’m doing it for cancer!

THANK YOU! Donations are just over $1200!  I’m going to increase my goal to $1500!  My hair is getting longer and I’m looking forward to shaving it soon! Thanks again to everyone who has donated…..Syd 




On my next birthday - 26th of March 2026, I’m going to shave my hair to support those affected by cancer. 

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.
