Did you know blood cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming more lives than breast cancer or melanoma? Every day another 35 people will be diagnosed, but let’s be real ALL CANCER SUCKS!

Although research is improving survival, sadly an Australian loses their life to blood cancer every two hours! So is it any wonder that a number of our readers wanted to share their shave experience to encourage others to get on board and donate to the cause or better yet be involved and give it a go themselves.

A big thank you to Beachmere Discount Drug Store at Beachmere Village Shopping Centre, The Bribie Island Bowls Club and Bribie Island Coaches who sent us in some great photos to share and for the participants who raised thousands of dollars for cancer research.

Well done to you all! Also a big shout out of thanks to the participating hairdressers who helped out on the day. Namely, Terry and Carly from the Beachmere Hair Hub and long-time local hairdresser Blondies, who are located in Bongaree.

A highly successful sales and leadership career working in a number of different and very competitive industries. Engaging with decision makers at all levels in business and government. Three decades employed by corporations, SME businesses in senior roles and almost twelve years operating as a freelance contractor has equipped me well for all aspects of business. Whether leading and mentoring sales teams, or in a direct sales role I enjoy the challenge to meet and exceed expectations. Making a real and tangible difference in either a team environment or as an individual is an important personal goal I have consistently achieved throughout my career. In all of my business and personal dealings over the years there is one issue that stands out above all others - communication. Excellent communication skills creates trust, helps with mutually beneficial outcomes and above all cements long lasting positive relationships. I strive everyday to communicate effectively with the people I encounter.
