Story
Hello amigos, I hope you have all been very well.
I’ve convinced a small army of people to shave their heads with me so we’ll all look like Britney circa 2007 when we get out of lockdown. While this is undeniably hilarious, we were thinking that we may as well raise some money in the process.
I’ve done some research into cancer foundations and the work that they do is truly amazing and I’m immensely grateful to be treated within Australia’s medical system. I’ve lead an extremely privileged life and continue to do so while I’m going through therapy.
This may sound controversial but I don’t feel right contributing fundraised money to a system that is already so well established and endorsed. I’ve already donated a chunk of my tumour to cancer research, however any money that is raised I would like to go towards helping people become a part of the workforce and society that we get to live in.
The money we raise will go to RACS (refugee advice & casework service) who provide critical free, legal advice, assistance and representation for those seeking asylum in Australia.
If you want to read more about legal support for people seeking asylum feel free to have a read here: https://www.racs.org.au
I know this isn’t what people typically donate their cancer fundraising towards but if you want to get involved it would help ease my conscience while I watch Netflix in my treatment rooms PLUS you get to choose a head to shave.

RACS (Refugee Advice and Casework Service Australia)
The Refugee Advice & Casework Service is a strong, independent public voice for the rights of refugees and people seeking asylum.
We achieve justice and dignity for refugees through the provision of effective legal services and advocacy.
People who come to Australia seeking asylum are amongst the most vulnerable who come into contact with Australia’s legal and migration system.
For them, a negative decision on their refugee status could mean they are sent back to danger.
At RACS, we:
- provide critical free legal advice, case management and representation for financially disadvantaged and vulnerable people seeking asylum or family reunion
- represent children without their parents, who are seeking protection in Australia
- make complaints for people about serious violations of their human rights to the Australian and United Nations complaints bodies; and
- advocate for systemic law reform and fight for policy that treats refugees with justice, dignity and respect.
With no federal government funding, we rely on donations, grants and pro bono support to continue our vital work.
