Michelle’s shave to save

By Michelle Garland

I'm now a Zero Hero

I've decided to shave my hair before it starts falling out from chemo. I’m doing this because I want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. I believe every death from breast cancer is one too many. To achieve this, I’m raising funds for more research. All donations made to this page will help do exactly that. 

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.

I really believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. NBCF is working towards one goal: zero deaths from breast cancer. 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!

My story

Wednesday 22nd Feb

Hi everyone,


For those who don’t know my story I thought I’d share my journey. On the 10th February 2023 I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (stage 3). It has been an emotional and scary time for myself and my family. I have started treatment and am feeling hopeful and positive. I am so thankful to be able to receive treatment that will give me a fighting chance to beat this cancer. This is why I want to fundraise for breast cancer research. Research to me means a lower number of deaths from breast cancer and an increase in the number of years that a woman can live cancer free after treatment.

Imagine a world where there are 0 deaths from breast cancer. Wouldn’t that be something.

Love Michelle
