8 Kiwis – adults and children – are diagnosed each day with a blood cancer. There's a good chance that they may lose their hair through chemotherapy because it can harm their hair follicles. This can be a difficult, scary, and isolating experience.
But they don't have to go it alone. By committing to fundraise for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand and shaving for a cure – you show your solidarity for Kiwis living with blood cancer and help us get one step further to our vision for a cure.
Every shave matters. Your shave could change a life.

On October 16th, I embarked on my annual Shave For A Cure campaign with a modest goal of $1,000. To my astonishment, your incredible support propelled us to that target within just 24 hours.
But your generosity didn't stop there. Over the following two weeks, your unwavering support continued to pour in, and together, we raised an astounding $1,520! I struggle to find words that adequately convey the depth of my gratitude and the overwhelming sense of honour, privilege, and love that this experience has filled me with.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each person who shared, liked, and donated to my fundraiser. None of this would have been possible without your incredible kindness and generosity.
This year's Shave For A Cure campaign held profound significance for me. It wasn't just about achieving a remarkable fundraising goal; it held a deeply personal meaning. I endured three years of constant and exhaustive chemotherapy treatments, a journey filled with both physical and emotional torment. Among the many challenges I faced, losing my hair was one of the most difficult. My hair, seemingly trivial, had been a source of identity and strength. Its absence left a void in my life, making me feel different and out of place.
However, in 2021, I found a silver lining in this predicament when I discovered this incredible organization. I decided to reclaim power over my own hair and voluntarily shave it off. I set a goal to shave my head for three consecutive years, symbolizing each year I battled cancer. Each year's shave represented the torment I faced with cancer, and each year marked a milestone in overcoming the hardest times of my life.
I am immensely thankful to have completed this journey, and to conclude it on such a high note is more meaningful than words can portray.
A special shout-out goes to my dear friends, Tom, Seb and George, who shaved my head and joined me in this remarkable milestone. Much love, Inaki❤️ #shavenz
Today, you can be someone's shining light by signing up to Shave for a Cure 🧡

I've decided to Shave my hair off for this great cause due to having lost my dad to cancer, as well as other family and friends going through having to deal with cancer as well.

On Monday 3rd of April, a number of OBHS students will be shaving their head in support of ‘Shave for a cure’ That support also includes shaving their head for Old Boy Sam Dickson. Our thoughts and aroha are with him at this time.
Great to see the Highlanders team shave their heads yesterday in support of Sam but also brother and Highlander Josh Dickson. The Highlanders will look a bit different against Moana Pasifika on Friday as they play for a cause much greater than rugby.

Hiiii if you missed it I shaved all my hair off! I did it for so many reasons;
🧡to support all the people fighting cancer who *have* to lose all their hair.
🧡To show them it doesn’t have to be scary and you can still slay 💁🏽♂️
🧡To bring awareness to the struggle that so many people face. Did you know 8 people will find out they have blood cancer today?
🧡To raise money to support patients and so no has to fight this fight alone.
And so many more.
If you would like to donate the link is still in my bio, we are $56 away from our goal!
And last but not least another huge mihi / thank you to everyone who donated / shared / supported me in this.

Every time someone chooses to shave their head for Shave for a Cure, they are making a 'bald' statement!
Along with the fundraising which happens for this bug event, you are standing in solidarity with the many cancer patients who sometimes lose their hair due to treatment.
You can sign up and start your own Shave for a Cure event via the link in bio 🧡

September is Blood Cancer Awareness month, and we invite you to learn more about the signs and symptoms of blood cancers. 🧡
When you commit to Shave for a Cure, you are helping the 8 Kiwis a day who are diagnosed with a blood cancer by shining a light on awareness surrounding these cancers, such as leukaemia and lymphoma.

Are you part of an early childhood centre, primary school, or kindy? Why not take part in a Crazy Hair Day this year?!
We love how creative these students were at Bunnythorpe Primary School, who recently held their own Crazy Hair Day. There are no limits to the creativity of young minds, and it is an easy way to teach the younger ones about helping others 🧡

I thought I would share my WHY , I have chosen to SHAVE for a CURE .
Through my life I have sadly watched as friends and family have left us due to cancer.
Both Marks parents were taken by cancer , as was my grandfather . I have watched from a distance the stories of wife’s loosing husbands, children loosing parents the list is endless .
A week ago I read a post at work on our work “internet” about a group of leaders and staff who were supporting the cause and our company AA Insurance would match every $ we raised up to $1000.
Of course I thought wow thats amazing but I also thought thats wild no way I could shave my head. I thought I would just forget about it , make a donation and move on ….. but I couldn’t .
The idea of being part of this amazing cause and raising awareness around cancer and in this case specifically leukaemia / blood cancer - would not leave my mind.
I was reminded that my mum named me after a little girl whos name was Kerry and she had leukaemia.
Suddenly not shaving my hair because I was to vein / I would look ugly or not have something to define me and my femininity seemed so shallow.
Everyone else at work has been raising funds since last week so I am a bit behind everyone…. Thank you to those that have supported me by donating.
Hopefully I will reach my goal of $1000
If you would like to donate- just click the link below - THANK YOU 🙏🏻

It’s been 2 years since I shaved my hair to fundraise for leukaemia and blood cancer NZ.
Since, I have had every short hairstyle, and every awkward length imaginable. And I would do it all again, because I am lucky in knowing that my hair will grow back. I am lucky to have a choice to change my hair when so many undergoing cancer treatment don’t. And every time I looked in the mirror or went out knowing I prefer long hair, it reminded me that we are so much more than our appearance.
Sending love to those that didn’t have the choice, who are fighting, and who lost those they love to cancer.
Kia kaha

I’m shaving for a cure 🌻🌻
Yup, that’s right. My hair is being shaved off 👏🏻👏🏻
Nearly a year ago, I got a phone call that no one wants to receive. It was my younger sister bravely telling me that just moments beforehand, her doctors had diagnosed her with Leukaemia…within days, she was in the Critical Care Unit. Words can’t describe the fear we felt. It’s been a long and hard road for her. 11 months on, and she’s successfully kicking Leukaemia’s arse, thanks to a trial drug ❤️❤️
I want to help find more effective treatments (like the one my sister is on) to save lives and make sure people with cancer get the support they need to get through.
