I'm going bald to banish breast cancer

By Julie Peters

I'm now a Pink Hero

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? Sadly, as you can see with those stats, most of us will know someone who has had to battle breast cancer.

I want to do what I can to help stop cancer in its tracks, so I've decided to shave my hair 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.

Bald head alert

Friday 15th May
Hi everyone, I forgot to update this on Wednesday. I shaved my head in the office in front of a small crowd.

I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to support such an important cause. As a colleague so aptly put it, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and something that sadly has/will touch the live of many. 

Thank you to all of you for donating. I appreciate you.

Let's hope there is a time in the future when we don't need to fundraise for cancer research because they've found a cure! 

Tomorrow is shave day

Tuesday 12th May

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to each of you for donating, sharing, messaging and encouraging me in this fundraiser. I’ve been completely blown away by the generosity and kindness people have shown.

Every dollar raised is going towards breast cancer research, and knowing this support will help make a difference means so much to me because at the end of the day, we all know cancer needs to go in the bin!!

So, tomorrow the hair comes off! I’ll share some photos once it’s done mid morning. 

Thank you again for being part of this with me. I appreciate you!

Thank you to my Supporters
