We're being brave and doing
the World's Greatest Shave!
On the 17th of August 2021, our lives changed instantly. Our beautiful almost 2 year old daughter Aspen was diagnosed with Leukaemia (B-ALL). From the initial abnormal blood results on the Sunshine Coast, to the direct Ambulance transfer to the QLD Childrens Hospital for diagnosis, and where we remain and will for some time throughout Aspens treatment, has been a journey to say the least and any parents worst nightmare. The love and support both Aspen and our family have received from our loved ones, family and friends has been incredible and far beyond what we ever imagined and from the bottom of our hearts we thank you all. Aspen is currently 3/4 of the way through her first 29 day Induction phase of treatment and has a long and challenging road ahead, but she is up for the fight. As a father this disease has me feeling numb and helpless as all of what is happening to Aspen is out of our control. All I can and will do is remain beside my little girl and provide her with endless love, comfort and support. Currently, Aspen is losing more and more hair daily so I want to lose mine to ensure she does not feel alone on this part of her journey. Which leads me to why I am here. The QLD Childrens Hospital staff, our doctors and nurses have been incredible. Doing everything they can guide our little girl on the path to full health. The charities and foundations that support Children with cancer have been amazing and we as a family are grateful beyond words. For us they have been there every step of the way to ensure we and Im sure other families who face Childhood Cancer feel and are supported through this journey. I want to give back and support those who are supporting us and other families through this incredibly tough time now and into the future. So as our team for ALL IN FOR ASPEN grows and more people are taking part in the World's Greatest Shave for my little girl and the Leukaemia Foundation! We are on a mission to shave the world from blood cancer. Join us live each Friday at 7pm as our loved ones who are nominated dare to bare it all (their scalps that is). Who knows, you might be up next going ALL IN FOR ASPEN and families facing blood cancer. At the completion of each Shave, Wax, Cut or Colour the individual will nominate our next candidate to join the ALL IN FOR ASPEN team. They will be challenged to: Sign up to the All in for Aspen Team with the worlds greatest shave. Raise as much of the $1000 goal set for each team member as possible in the week.
