The cut has happened!
I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.
On the 7th October 2015 our beloved Karen “Kaz” Anderson lost her battle with leukaemia. Marking her 10th anniversary and in honour of this special lady we will be having a Street Stall with fresh produce and delicious baking, potted plants and more plus a raffle with great prizes.
Followed by Karen’s sister Fiona Patti’s hair cutting extravaganza with her luscious locks being donated for wigs for cancer patients.
All funds raised are for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Save the date! 11th of October 2025
Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.
I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease.
The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives.
Please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Thank you, Angie, for organising the fundraiser for such a worthwhile cause. Fiona, I know how much this means to you and I know another lovely person will benefit from you cutting off your locks. The dignity that having a wig made just for them goes a long way when they’re already battling this disease.
