I’m helping raise vital funds for breast cancer education, research and patient support.
I’m cutting my hair to donate to Freedom Wigs and raise awareness for a cause.
Every year 3,700 New Zealanders are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 650 will die.
Several of my close friends are about to undergo Chemotherapy and I want to stand with them on their journey.
While they’re forced to endure the hard yards I want to show my support by playing a part in the journey with them.
By fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, we are helping fund –
- Ground-breaking projects by some of our countries top researchers
- Education about breast health, the importance of regular screening and the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
- Free support services for breast cancer patients and their families
Donate today to help make zero deaths from breast cancer a reality.
My Updates
Why I stopped cutting my hair 4 years ago
Tuesday 27th Oct It began in the second round of C19, where as a primary healthcare professional I chose not to go to the barber as it would be a risk to myself and therefore patients. Not wanting to risk the spread of C19 to vulnerable patients I decided not to cut my hair. This was a challenge because for anyone who has an amazing barber (like I do) you will know that the barbershop is more than just a place to get your haircut but a place where people can bond and check in on their mental health and well being. Over the last 4 years I decided not to cut my hair but instead have made a conscious decision to check in with my Barber - Big P multiple times a week. He’s a good man and is a standup guy for both his family and his local community, and while I miss the hours of banter, laughter and fresh fades we have perhaps maintained an even better check in on our Mental Health and well being through conscious effort and regular messaging . Over that time my hair has got pretty long. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
