Story

Hey everyone,

So… big news — the beard is going! Yep, after months of carefully growing and (sort of) grooming it, I’ve decided to shave it all off. But I’m not doing it just for a fresh face or because Nan asked me to — I’m doing it to support an amazing cause: Above and Beyond Cancer Foundation.

They’re a charity that helps people going through one of the toughest things life can throw at you — cancer. They provide support, hope, and empowerment to those battling it, especially through things like healing journeys, wellness programs, and community events. It’s not just about fighting the disease — it’s about living life fully, even in the middle of a fight.

I’m raising money specifically because ovarian cancer is rubbish. It’s sneaky, it’s serious, and it often goes undetected until it’s already done a lot of damage. My nan and our family have had our lives flipped upside down by it, and that’s not okay. We need more awareness, more research, and more support for the people affected by it.

So if you’ve got a few spare coins or even just want to cheer me on as I say goodbye to the beard, I’d massively appreciate it. Let’s do something that really makes a difference 💙

Thanks for the support — and stay tuned for the before and after pics 😅
