World's Greatest Shave

Jessica and all of us in her family received a lot of meaningful support from the Leukaemia Foundation.

Please sponsor me and support the Leukaemia Foundation

To help them to continue helping others I’m taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave this year on March 11.

Take a look at my Profile Page by clicking this link:http://my.imisfriendraising.com.au/personalPage.aspx?SID=111263

I’d like you to support me by making a secure online donation using your credit card.

- Every hour of every day, at least one person in Australia is diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
- Every two hours, someone loses their life to blood cancer.

Please help me raise as much as I can for the Leukaemia Foundation. Their vital work provides patients with practical support during their long and tough treatment, as well as funding important research.

Thanks for your support!
