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.
We are excited to announce a fundraiser in support of a valued member of our Early Learning Centre community. Together, we aim to raise funds for The Leukemia Foundation, which provides critical services to families affected by leukemia. The foundation not only funds cutting-edge research for life-saving treatments and clinical trials but also offers essential support, including:
- Information and education services
- Accommodation and transport services
- Assessment and referral services
To help raise funds, we will be hosting a ‘Crazy Hair Week’ during Week 9 (16th – 20th September). For a donation, we encourage your child to come to preschool with their wildest, most creative hairstyles. It’s a fun way to support a great cause and bring our community together.
In addition, Michelle and Shannon will take on a 50km challenge, hiking from Adelaide to Hahndorf and back on Sunday, 22nd September, as part of our efforts. This hike is expected to take over 12hours.
We 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.
Please show your support by donating to our fundraising campaign.

Our heartfelt thanks to Michelle, Shannon, & the Trinity College Community, for raising awareness & funding for this very important research. While research, treatments & ultimately cures for all forms of Cancers, is vital, our Daughter's recent diagnosis of Myelofibrosis, a very rare form of blood cancer, which affects bone marrow, highlighted to us that it is only through funding & ongoing research, that a cure can be found, for both this form of Cancer & many others. Our Sincere Thanks to Everyone who donates, regardless of the amount, as well as to all those who raise awareness of Blood Cancers, with their 'Crazy Hair Styles'. To Shannon & Michelle, regardless of how far you hike, words cannot express how grateful we are as a family to you both, for supporting our Beautiful & Much Loved Daughter, & for organising this fund raiser for the Leukaemia Foundation.
