Nilani & Ollie’s Shave for a Cause

By Nilani Ekanayake Join Me

We’re fundraising for your daddy 👨🏽‍🦳

On December 13th, we’re shaving our heads for a cause that means a lot to us -  prostate cancer awareness.

Both of our dads have been affected by this disease. The truth is, prostate cancer can often be treated if it’s caught early enough, but too many men aren’t getting checked. Maybe they don’t know they should.

That’s why we’re shaving our heads!

So, book your PSA test. And if you don’t have a prostate, tell a man you love to get his checked!

Where are the funds going?

Di and Chris have been a shining light through an incredibly complicated and emotional time. They’ve provided Dad — and all of us — with unwavering support, guidance, and resources that have made this journey feel a little less overwhelming.

This is why the proceeds will be going directly to their group, so they can continue the work they do for the community. They have built a strong community for those affected by prostate cancer, creating a space where people can connect and feel genuinely supported.

Their compassion has meant more to us than they know, and we want to help them keep supporting families just like ours.
