INXS guitarist Tim Farriss will shave his head during the World's Greatest Shave, to show support for wife Beth, who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia six months ago.
The Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave is on 11-13 March. 125,000 people are expected to shave or colour their hair to raise money to support blood cancer research and patient care. Be one of them!
Leukaemia Foundation funding has contributed to the discovery of cells by Melbourne researchers that cause acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), a common childhood leukaemia. |
