Big congrats to Amelia, the winner of our Shave for a Cure giveaway! 🧡

Earlier this month, Amelia bravely shaved her head for Blood Cancer NZ's Shave for a Cure, raising over $1,000 for Kiwis affected by blood cancer. She is now taking home a $125 bundle from Two Dudes, full of skincare products that aren't just for the dudes!

Thanks to everyone who sent in their photos and got involved. Every entry helped spread the word.

Days after returning from a trip to Samoa, Mel reached behind her back and felt a sudden pain, thinking she'd pulled a muscle. It was myeloma.

With her husband Michael and their children by her side, and support from Annette and Natasha from Blood Cancer NZ, she faced a stem cell transplant, weeks of gruelling nausea, and a retirement very different from the one she’d imagined.

"I just take one day at a time. I want to get on with my life and be really strong through all of this," says Mel.

September is Wills Month ❤️

There’s a lot people don’t know about leaving a gift in their Will, so here are three things worth knowing:

Your family can come first. You can provide for the people you love, then leave a share of what’s left to a cause that matters to you.

Small gifts matter. A gift doesn’t need to be large to make a meaningful difference for Kiwis facing blood cancer, and to support research into better treatments.

You may not need to start again. If you already have a Will, adding a gift may only require a small update. It’s important to talk to your lawyer to make sure any changes are made correctly.

Just a few things worth knowing, whenever the time feels right for you.

Just weeks after unexplained bruises began appearing on his body, nine-year-old Parker was diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia.

With his mum Renee, brothers Jasper and Coen, and Tim from Blood Cancer NZ by his side, he faced a bone marrow transplant, six weeks in isolation, and weeks apart from the brothers he’d always been inseparable from.

"I started to see the happy light we were losing in Parker come back," says Renee.

Feeling run down and can’t seem to shake it off? If you’ve had fevers or infections that keep coming back, it’s a good idea to have a chat with your GP.
