On March 20th, 2022 we completed a 14+ hour live stream in support of blood cancer, raising money for the World’s Greatest Shave fundraiser with the Leukaemia Foundation!
Live Head Shaving
For those that don’t know, Genevieve to the right in this image is my sister. Genevieve suffers from Leukaemia and has Down syndrome. She had a go at shaving my head and then my mate took over. See the images below and the video further down.
Community Involvement
Thanks to the below amazing communities, we were able to put on a unique show and display of video gaming and dash cam discussion. Check out what was involved below.
Autosport Therapy
Thank you to Sticky Flames for jumping on board for an interview in regard to his community, Autosport Therapy! For this part of the live stream we had some technical issues at the start but managed to get the event going where we raced some custom routes built by the Autosport Therapy community in Forza Horizon 4. I can’t recommend this community enough with the amazing work they do with custom route building in the Forza Horizon 4 and 5!!!

Meet and Cruise
Thank you to OMGWTHEFBBQ for chatting with us about his community, Meet and Cruise. It was great to hear about where it all began and how it’s evolved. I personally have loved being involved in their meets and earlier on just stuffing around with OMG in Forza Horizon 4. For this part of the live stream another member, Ash took us on a cruise with photo locations and racing in Forza Horizon 5.
For this event we used a livery created by Automotive Gaming Community member, Hanz! He recreated the World’s Greatest Shave logo from scratch and created liveries for two cars to be used in this event with Meet and Cruise.
Check out the liveries and video below…

Blood Cancer
In April of 2020 my sister Genevieve with Down syndrome was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. It has been a rough couple of years battling through this immense change in our lives, from being told in 2020 that Genevieve’s survival was very low, to being in and out of remission multiple times, to now having a glimmer of hope for Genevieve’s longevity.
Who is Genevieve?
Genevieve has always been a go getter! Going to work precisely on time, dancing with the e.motion21 group, loving to spend any moment cooking and watching Home and Away. Check out a few videos of Genevieve’s achievements in the past below. Unfortunately, due to Genevieve’s condition and compromised immune system she has only been able to attend events online, and cannot currently pursue her time in the workforce or IRL dancing. Regardless, she is a strong and happy individual who is not giving up!
Bringing People Together
Thanks to the amazing online communities that I am involved with, I have been able to put together a fun filled day of video gaming while promoting this charity and cause. We hope to raise $5000 AUD as part of “Team CRUDE” with the World’s Greatest Shave campaign!
