Help beat blood cancer!

Every year thousands of Australians step up to Shave, Cut, or Colour their hair in the ultimate act to support people facing blood cancer.

Over the last 25 years, more than two million people have sacrificed their hair, or donated to someone who has helped the Leukaemia Foundation’s goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.

The latest figures show 53 Australians hear the words “you have blood cancer” every day – and that number is expected to nearly double by 2035. Taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave is an unmistakable and unmissable way to show you’re part of a caring community, committed to stopping blood cancer wrecking lives.

Power up your ponytail

WAIT… before you shave! Do you have 20cm or more of natural or coloured hair? Your ponytails have the power to become a charitable wig for someone suffering from cancer, and give them back their confidence!

Every single day we receive precious packages from those who’ve sacrificed their long locks to raise money in the fight against blood cancer – and have gone the extra mile to donate their ponytails!
