The Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave starts this Wednesday. Jeff Rose from 8 Wentworth Chambers has again signed on to shave his hair and beard in support of the Foundation, but he needs your help.

Jeff asks the members of the Bar to support this great cause by sponsoring him to shave. You can sponsor Jeff by clicking here.

You may not know it but blood cancer claims more lives than breast cancer or melanoma. And today another 35 people will be given the devastating news they have leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma or another blood disorder.

The Leukaemia Foundation receives no ongoing government funding, so supporting this event makes the Foundation’s work possible. Sponsoring just $53 will ensure someone being treated in hospital gets a personal visit from a highly-trained health professional so they get the extra support they need. $150 can support a blood cancer research project for a day.

Thank you.
