The World's Greatest Shave to Care and Cure is one of Australia's biggest fundraising events. 100,000 people across the country pledge to shave their hair each year to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.
The Leukaemia Foundation raise funds for patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. The funds raised will help them offer support services, counseling, education programs and practical assistance free of charge. They also fund cutting edge research into treatments and cures.
My wonderful amazing sister who currently 33 years old and is 15 weeks pregnant has just been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Apparently, she has had the cancer for about a year and therefore need to start 8 months of chemotherapy immediately. Luckily they think that this should not harm her baby although the baby will be delivered about 8 weeks early. My sister will also continue chemotherapy after the baby is born. My sister has been thinking about doing Shave for a Cure prior to this and then once she received this diagnosis, decided to do it. We are lucky that her prognosis is quite good however I know others are not so lucky.
So please help her raise money for such a worthwhile cause and sponsor her via the link below.
