Caleb Cuts for a Cure

By Tanya Le Couteur

I'm now a Pink Hero

Hi, my name is Caleb and Im 11 years old.

My mums cousin, Rachel died from breast cancer in 2012 when she was 41 years old.

My friend Emily's mum is fighting breast cancer right now.

Every day 58 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer and 9 Australians die every day from this disease?  

I've decided to cut my hair and raise funds for 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! Love Caleb

Great job Caleb!!! It is a very important cause and proud of you for contributing in such a meaningful way. Having seen Asher do this himself I know that growing your hair long as a boy can sometimes give you some grief until you tell people what you are doing it for and then they respect the amazing cause you are assisting with. It takes a special kid to think of others this way. ❤️
