I’m helping to beat blood cancer by taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave!
As many of you already know, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a form of blood cancer, in November last year. To say it was a shock is a bit of an understatement but I am fortunate as it was caught relatively early. I am currently undergoing treatment and will also have a stem cell transplant shortly.
Those who know me know that I am very attached to my hair but my upcoming stem cell transplant means I will eventually lose it all. So I have decided to get in early and create something positive. On March 17th, I will shave my head to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundations Worlds Greatest Shave.
Every day, 53 Aussies are diagnosed with blood cancer, and 16 will lose their life. With no screening programs available and no means of prevention through lifestyle changes, blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis.
I'll be raising crucial funds that help give those facing blood cancer all the support and information they need, while driving breakthrough research projects discovering better ways to diagnose and treat blood cancer.
