I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

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.

Thank you 💙

Wow... where do we even begin?

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single person who has supported Bodhi on his very special journey. Whether you donated, shared our fundraiser, left a kind message, or simply cheered him on, your love and generosity have meant more to our family than words can express.

On Tuesday 14th July, Bodhi bravely said goodbye to the beautiful blonde curls he'd been growing for almost five years. While it was a bittersweet moment for us, knowing his hair will help bring comfort and confidence to a child doing it tough made it all worthwhile.

Thanks to your incredible support, we've also been able to raise money for the Leukemia Foundation. Your generosity will help support families facing one of the toughest challenges imaginable, and we're so grateful you've helped turn Bodhi's first haircut into something so much bigger than just a haircut.

We are beyond proud of our kind, compassionate little boy. We hope this experience reminds him that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.

Thank you again for being part of this special milestone and for helping spread so much love. Our hearts are truly full. 💙

Its time to take the chop

In just a few days, a couple of weeks before his 5th birthday, Bodhi will be saying goodbye to the beautiful blonde curls he's been growing since he was a baby.
This isn't just his first haircut—he's chosen to donate his hair to help a child doing it tough.
As bittersweet as it will be to see those gorgeous curls go, we're incredibly proud of his kind heart and the compassion he's shown at such a young age. Knowing his hair will help bring comfort and confidence to another child makes this milestone even more meaningful.
Our beautiful boy is growing up, and we couldn't be prouder. 💙
To make this even more special, we'd also love to raise some money to donate to the Leukemia Foundation. If you're in a position to contribute, no matter how big or small, we would be so grateful for your support. Every donation will help make a difference for families doing it tough. Thank you so much for helping Bodhi turn his first haircut into an act of kindness. 💙
