World's Greatest Shave March 2026

The World’s Greatest Shave, the Leukaemia Foundation’s flagship fundraising campaign, is one of Australia’s most iconic charity events. This life-changing initiative raises funds to support blood cancer patients and their families, as well as to drive groundbreaking research and advocacy efforts.

Why Take Part in the World's Greatest Shave?

Blood cancer is one of Australia’s hidden health crises. Right now, over 150,000 families are impacted by blood cancer, and tragically, 17 Australians lose their lives to the disease every day.

By stepping up to shave, cut, or colour your hair, you’re not just making a bold statement, you’re helping to save lives. Every year, thousands of Australians take part in this incredible campaign, joining a passionate community of supporters who are determined to make a difference.

The funds raised go directly towards:

• Providing care and support for blood cancer patients and their families, including accommodation, financial assistance, and education.
• Investing in life-saving research to improve treatments.
• Advocating for change to ensure that all Australians have access to the care they need.
