Why I’m doing this

Hey guys, it’s me again. 

Just over a week has passed since I lost my grandfather, my toughest challenge to date. I’ve never lost anyone close to me so it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions but the support from people around me has been second to none. 

In our culture, we believe that when an immediate family member passes away, as a show of respect, the men of the family shave their heads/beards. For my family, this will take place on Friday.

My aja was a very giving and caring person and whilst Friday’s ritual will be for him, I thought this would be a great opportunity to partner up with the Leukaemia Foundation and also raise awareness and funds for blood cancer. 

My grandfather passed away from a relatively natural cause so it was as peaceful as it could have been. Sadly, life is not always kind to everyone. Hold your loved ones close, never shy away from an “I love you” and donate generously.. no donation is too small. 

Thank you everyone, I appreciate you all.

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

Today, more than 50 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 50 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.
