SHAVE FOR A CURE
The Leukaemia Foundation is on a mission to ‘shave’ the world from blood cancer with the World’s Greatest Shave.
This fundraising community has so far raised more than $3,470,800 and need your help to raise more from March 13 to 17 this year.
Anyone can be a hero and join the initiative by either shaving, waxing or colouring their hair. One such hero, is Brooke Phillips.
She is raising funds for this incredible cause and has pledged to shave all her hair off.
Brook invites all like–minded people to join her for a drastic change of appearance at 6.30pm on Saturday, March 16, at the Toowoomba Showgrounds.
She will spend the night with family, friends, and supportive locals; collecting donations right up to the moment she shaves it all off.
“I feel strongly about this cause and I’ve always wanted to take part,” Brooke said.
In the meantime, you can visit the World’s Greatest Shave website and look for Brooke’s page under the ‘Donate to a Shaver’ tab, to sponsor her in her $1000 fundraising goal.
If you’re not prepared to shave it all off, you may choose to wax (perhaps the hairs on your legs or upper lip), or colour your hair (maybe a bright green?) instead.
All funds raised, will go to the World’s Greatest Shave and will fund research to help more people survive blood cancer.
Shaving, waxing or colouring your hair will help to give families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need.
Make sure you sponsor a shaver — or become a shaver and get sponsored — this month, and make a difference in someone’s life.
And, remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
