I'm now a Zero Hero
YOU ALL ARE AMAZING! and I've had to move to a NEW TARGET as such OVERWHELMING SUPPORT has gotten so close to my goal in just 2days.
THANKYOU ALL from the bottom of my heart!
I've decided to shave my hair (yep bald as baby's bottom) because unfortunately in about approx. 4 weeks’ time, my mother is about to be hit with chemotherapy due to a Breast Cancer and will lose her hair.
As a sign of support I will be Shaving my Head, and have decided whoever gives the most gets to do (or choose who does) the Shaving.
All proceeds to go to Breast cancer Foundation.
I’ve had long hair for over 10years, and kind of part of my identity.Currently is past my shoulder blades. (see pics attached)
I aiming to hit at least $1000 at least and hopefully matched by Suncorp.
Your Support would be most appreciated and I’m sure will give a spark to a woman (my mum) in a tough time.
We all want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. I believe every death from breast cancer is one too many. To achieve this, I’m raising funds for more research. All donations made to this page will help do exactly that.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.
I really believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. NBCF is working towards one goal: zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. Together we can help them get there.
Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my goal. Every donation, big or small, will help me get there. Please donate today.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.
Thank you so much for your support!

Saturday 13th JulWow over $2,000 without signof letting up.
Thankyou so much to every who has donated no matter how big or small.
from my original expectaion of 500 to now over 2000 and others have been saying i should aim even larger.
So $3000 is the new target with about 3 weeks to go. I'm relishing having hair and not looking forward to late winter in melbourne and Bald but of course and glad that such such a worthy cause its getting its due.
Thanks again :)
