More than my hair - Braving the Shave

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had long hair — it’s always been a big part of who I am. But for many people going through cancer, that choice is taken away without warning.


This fundraiser is my way of standing in solidarity with those people, while raising vital funds for cancer research, treatment, and support services.


I’ve committed to changing my hair based on how much is raised:

• Under $5,000 — a bold, bright colour

• $5,000–$10,000 — a major chop

• Over $10,000 — a full head shave


The final transformation will happen live at a fundraising event in May/June 2026, with raffles, games, food and prizes — all profits going directly to charity.


Where the Money Goes


💜 50% of funds raised will support Peter MacCallum Foundation

💜 50% will support Cancer Council Australia


Both organisations play an essential role in cancer research, treatment, prevention and patient support across Australia.


This is about more than hair. It’s about compassion, community, and helping ensure more people get the chance to keep their futures — and their choices.


Thank you for being part of this journey.

One of the main reasons behind me wanting to do this fundraiser is my Nana. Sadly, I lost my Nana in 2005 to cancer, at the young age of 55. Cancer affects us all, whether it's us personally or a family member, a friend, a work colleague, it does not discriminate. This is my chance the help, while I will miss my hair, its only hair and if it helps even in just the smallest of ways to aid in research or care for patients, then I will be happy.
