24 Mar 15th to 19th March 2023 is The Leukaemia Foundation’ s World Greatest Shave Week Blood cancer can develop in anyone, anywhere, anytime — from young infants and adolescents to adults of all backgrounds and genders. Today, another 53 Australians will be told the heartbreaking news 😢that they’ve been diagnosed with a blood cancer, joining more than 135,000 people living with the devastating impact of Australia’s second most diagnosed cancer. A range of things affect someone’s chance of surviving blood cancer, and it can be incurable. Sadly, another 16 Australians lose their life to blood cancer each and every day.
😮By 2035, these figures will more than double, seeing close to 100 people per day diagnosed with blood cancer and more than 40 people will die every day.😳
The Leukaemia Foundation is working towards the goal of Zero Lives Lost to Blood Cancer by 2035.🤗 In 2023, the Leukaemia Foundation will celebrate 25 years of the World’s Greatest Shave campaign. People of all ages will shave, 💇♀️colour, or wax the hair on their head, chest or face – supported all the way by proud family, friends, colleagues and classmates. Some will have a personal connection to blood cancer, while others take part simply to have fun, tick a bucket list box and raise money for a good cause. 🤗
