Meet Bianca

This year I am shaving my lid for a friend of my daughters. In 2007 Bianca was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks before turning 4.

She endured 830 days of treatment and during that time collected more than 1,300 beads of courage! Each bead represents something that happened during her treatment.

The Child Cancer Foundation helps kids fighting cancer as well as their families, but they get no government funding to help them do their job!

More than three children on average per week in New Zealand are diagnosed with cancer. Each year New Zealand children with cancer collectively undergo an astounding 75,000 treatments and procedures throughout their journey. For each one they receive a Bead of Courage… The Child Cancer Foundation is committed to supporting children with cancer and their families from the time of diagnosis, throughout their journey of treatments and subsequently the transition back into the community.

By shaving my lid for a brave kid, I’m helping raise the $3 million required each year for child and family support services. I’m passionate about the cause and willing to lose my locks to prove it!

Please sponsor me as I participate in funrazor. All money raised goes to the Child Cancer Foundation.

Thanks so much for all your support!
