I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

Hi everyone! Last summer, my brother Matthew found out he had a cancerous tumour growing on his liver. It grew to 4kg before he had to undergo intensive and dangerous surgery to remove it. Unfortunately, the cancer came back, and he has since had to undergo intense chemotherapy as well. We still don't know the cause, nor the type of cancer. 


I've decided to shave my head to raise funds and awareness, so that hopefully one day others won't have to go through the same as him. All contributions are welcome. Thank you so much!

G'day Mia; We knew Matthew was sick and were afraid it was something like this. We only know him on-line, but he has an open invitation to come visit whenever he can. He's always been such a nice bloke and helps so many people, including us, with his knowledge & experience. You, Matthew & all your family are in our hearts and desperately hope he recovers. All our love Brett & Marie Ellura Sanctuary

HI Mia, good luck with the fundraising and good luck to Matthew. I have no idea what you and your family are going through but I do know this, your father Tim is an extraordinary human being and all of us at Telstra are very fortunate to have him in 'our family'. He is a true inspiration and has been for years. Give your brother and your dad a big kiss and hug from 'our family', and call out if we can help in anyway.
