Ellie's Shave for Breast Cancer

By Ellie Grieger

My name is Ellie

“My name is Ellie and I am in Year 4 at school. I want to raise money for research because my Mum had breast cancer and now I know the struggles for people with this illness.”

I want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. To achieve this, I’m raising funds for more research by shaving my hair at school on the 29th March 2021. 

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (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!

Ellie, my 7 year old niece’s name is Ellie and she raises money for charity too. I think you are awesome! And brave, strong, kind and giving. Well done! You should be proud. I want a world where there’s zero cancer too - all cancers. I know too many people dear to me that had/have breast cancer; most recently - a couple weeks ago - my Aunt. Their struggles are real. Good on you Ellie! Bravo!
