The Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave is one of Australia’s biggest annual fundraising events.
The idea is simple. Participants get friends and family to sponsor them to shave or colour their hair. The money that’s raised is used by the Leukaemia Foundation to fund free services to support patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. It also funds blood cancer research to find better treatments and cures.
More than 125 000 people are expected to shave or colour their hair this year, and while I won’t be one of them, a friend and colleague will. John Donoghue will be shaving his head and dedicating his effort to a friend who is going through Chemotherapy and other treatments at the moment. John has been supporting and praying for her family for many months as they go through this, and he sees this head shave as another way of offering his support.
Hi there, it’s JD here from 98.5 Sonshine FM. I’m taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave 2010. Please consider sponsoring me! It’s a relatively small thing to do considering the pain and suffering of those living with, and unfortunately, dying from this disease.
The funds we raise will help the Leukaemia Foundation to provide practical care and support to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. Please consider donating and supporting this cause by sponsoring me to get my head shaved in March.
Just click here to find out more and to support John.
