The World’s Greatest Shave is back from March 12-15 and the Leukaemia Foundation is urging everyone to get behind it.

The Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave began back in 1998 and today, is one of Australia’s biggest fundraising events! People get sponsored to shave or colour their hair and raise funds to support people with blood cancer.

More than 12,000 Australians will be diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma this year – equivalent to 31 people every day. The money they raise will be used to continue the search for cures and to support families.

More than 150,000 people from all walks of life will shave or colour their hair in 2015. Some will go it alone while others will get a team together. Many schools will hold a ‘Funky Hair Day’ and there will be many special challenges such as the Tradie challenge.

Some organise a private event at home or work while others head to a public event. These will be listed on worldsgreatestshave.com closer to the time.
