In Honour Of
I'm shaving my hair, for my Friend Ben Jackson
Heads up! Here's why you should support my Shave for a Cure 🧡
Big news 🙌 I'm joining a movement of thousands to unite and raise funds to support Kiwis impacted by blood cancer.
Here's the thing... I need your help! Will you please donate now so my new hairdo can make the biggest impact possible towards a cure for blood cancers?
Every dollar you give helps power research and deliver crucial care and support for people living with blood cancer in New Zealand.
Your support is so important, because each day 8 people in New Zealand are diagnosed with blood cancer.
Stand in solidarity by donating now. You'll also give me a huge confidence boost as I get ready to make a big change with my hair 🥰
Please give generously. 👉
Here’s My Before & After!

Shave Day
Sunday 29th Mar Shave day…A day of completion but with the loss of Ben (just 7 weeks after diagnosis) it also felt more like a sad goodbye to a legend that was an amazing example to all who knew him.
Donating in Ben’s name
Tuesday 3rd Mar Feeling sad to have to post this but sadly our close friend Ben was taken to heaven on Saturday. He only knew he had a rare type of non Hodgkins lymphoma for the last 7 weeks of his precious 35 years

To mark one month since losing my dear husband, Ben, I would like to honour one of Ben's final wishes of donating to cancer research by matching the amount donated so far. I hope it goes some way to finding a cure for this evil disease. Thank you, David, for organising this and for your generous shave. The kids and I miss you, Ben, and love you always. May your soul rest in peace.
