Hard Out for a Hair-Out

Heads up! Here's why you should support our Shave for a Cure 🧡

I’m jumping on board with thousands of other legends to raise some solid coin for Kiwis living with blood cancer.

Here’s the deal — I need your help. Not just for a laugh at my soon-to-be-bald head (though that’s a bonus), but because this cause genuinely matters. Every day, eight people in Aotearoa are diagnosed with blood cancer — that’s eight whānau suddenly facing something massive.

The money we raise goes straight into funding lifesaving research, support services, and practical care for people right here in NZ. It's not just about a cure down the track — it’s about helping folks get through today.

I’m doing the mahi and losing the locks, but I can’t do it without you. Flick a few dollars my way and you’re not just backing thousands of Kiwis doing it tough.

Let’s show them they’re not alone. Your donation helps give hope, helps fund action, and helps me walk proudly into the barber’s chair knowing we’re making a real difference.

Ngā mihi — let’s make it count

Shave the eyebrows too mate, they're worth a few bucks at least.

Shaving the head is not an effective treatment for head lice and is generally not recommended. While lice can be found on the scalp and hair, shaving the head does not eliminate them entirely, as they can survive on the scalp for a short period after the hair is removed. Additionally, shaving can be distressing and traumatizing for individuals, particularly children.

Go for it Marcus! Regardless of ahaved or unshaved, I've still more hair on top of my head 😆. All jokes aside, it is a good cause to support
