Laura Shaves Her Head

By Laura Tan

I'm shaving my head to fundraise for Dementia Australia!

On a personal note, my grandma was diagnosed with Dementia a few months ago. It has been an adjustment but has been made easier with the free resources provided by Dementia Australia.

All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling, support groups, education and training.

I'll also be donating my hair to the Cancer Council's Ponytail Project to be repurposed into a wig.

Thank you for your support.
