Little Eadie’s Shave for Childhood Cancer

We are fundraising for Neuroblastoma Australia in memory of beautiful Georgia Fletcher. This gorgeous young girl lost her battle with Neuroblastoma at the age of 9. Childhood cancer needs a light shone upon it and there is no greater light than beautiful Georgia. In her memory we will be aiming to raise much needed funds to develop new and less harmful treatments of childhood cancer. We also aim to support families currently facing a childhood cancer diagnosis.
