I'm rocking the chop on 28/06/2026
We are going to shave our heads and donate our hair to raise funds for the Cancer Council
Our son Sean died of early onset bowel cancer.
Did you know that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?
In 2008 Tony and I took part in Shave for a Cure. At that time cancer barely touched our lives. Sadly that changed. Walking alongside our son as he faced his cancer journey was one of the most painful experiences of our lives. Before he was diagnosed we had no idea that bowel cancer is the deadliest cancer for Australians aged 25-54. We need lower screening ages for colonoscopies, more education about never being too young for bowel cancer, and for young people to be aware that bowel cancer is increasing in their age group.
We want to raise funds to help raise awareness about all forms of cancer and the importance of detecting cancer early.
All funds raised will go towards cancer research, prevention programs and support services. This means everything from transport to get cancer patients to and from their medical appointments, counselling patients and family at each stage of the journey, to assisting childcare facilities to keep kids safe from the sun.
We know we can help create change.
Will you support us ?
