    Our shave for a cure was a great success - we have raised nearly $9,000 which is totally amazing considering we thought we might raise one or two thousand between us!! A big thankyou to everyone who donated and everyone who helped in collecting donations for us - we really appreciate it. It is so wonderful to see such amazing support from everyone. Some people have also told me that they have decided to donate blood which is a wonderful thing to do and thankyou for that. Both the Shave for a Cure donations and the blood donations are such worthwhile causes. The Leaukemia Foundation does such amazing work - they have supported me alredy so much through this journey and they will be there for me the whole way. The work they do in finding cures is invaluable - if it were not for research that had previously been done I would not be sitting here knowing that in a year’s time I am going to be better. And blood donations are so fantastic. Certain parts of the blood only last a few days and knowing the way I feel pre and post blood transfusions it must be terrible if your blood is not available when you need a transfusion. I am so grateful to the strangers out there that have allowed me to receive the blood I do which makes me feel 100% better. So big thankyous all round!!!
