World's Greatest Shave
In an effort to raise funds to provide life changing support for families in Australia facing blood cancer we have nine students and one teacher who will be cutting, shaving and/or donating their hair as a part of the World’s Greatest Shave. Cutting or shaving your hair can fundraise for the treatment, research and care that goes into beating blood cancer, and if you have 30+ cm of hair, it can be donated to Foundations able to turn it into wigs for people who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy.
When: Friday 29 July (alongside crazy hair day)
