International Women's Day 2026

Please support my International Women's Day fundraiser!

Did you know that every day 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 people in Australia die every day from this disease?  

This year's International Women's Day theme is 'Give to Gain'. I've decided to hold my fundraiser to raise funds for world-class breast cancer research to help National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Please support me and my pledge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal. Together, we can stop deaths from breast cancer.

Why I’m shaving my head!?

Friday 30th Jan
I’m raising money for breast cancer research because this is a cause very close to my heart. My mum is currently going through treatment for breast cancer for the third time, now metastatic, and it’s a reminder that this disease doesn’t always end after the first battle. Supporting research means supporting better treatments, better outcomes, and hopefully fewer families having to face this journey again. 

Shaving my head is a small gesture compared to what so many go through, but I hope it can help make a difference.

My head will be shaved on the 28th of March by my mum!
