The Mane Event – Long Story Short

By Layne Addy

The Mane Event

Did you know that 56 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer every day? Chances are, each of us knows and loves someone who has been affected by this disease.

It's time to say goodbye to my trademark mane! I'm donating my locks to help create wigs and raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). Together, we can support life-changing breast cancer research and help move closer to a future with Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

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

The Mane Event will organised for the week of 10 August 2026.  Stay tuned for further details.

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