Gino's fundraiser for breast cancer research

By Gino La Morticella

I'm now a Zero Hero

Did you know that every day 58 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 Australians die every day from this disease?  

I've decided to shave my beard and if I reach my $2,500 target I will shave my hair to help 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.

Thankyou

The Big Shave - this Thursday 31st October

Monday 28th Oct
The big shave will happen at 12:15 in building 16 at Alstom Dandenong. The beard will be removed first…which I’m happy to let go and then the hair on my head will be removed straight after as I’ve raised over my target of $2500. 
Who ever donates the largest amount from Alstom will have the honour to holding the clippers for the big shave.
My shaved head is the least I can do in support of all the women going through treatment and for those who have been impacted by this disease.

A big shout out to everyone who has donated to advance research for treatments and a cure.

Will be a bit easier without the beard

Well the Big Shave will happen

Monday 14th Oct
Thanks to the generous donations already received by all, the hair on my head will be removed along with the beard…Thanks to the very large donation from my sister Italia ?.

Did I set my target goal too low? Sure I can raise more!

Thank you to my Supporters
