Sonia O’Bree-Smith and her husband, Skip are fundraising for ‘Hair with Heart – Variety’ and Bowel Cancer Australia, with all money raised being split 50-50 between the two.
It’s in memory of their family friend, Geoffro, who sadly lost his battle with bowel cancer on June 9 2017.
On Saturday June 9 this year, at 9.30am, Sonia and Skip will go to JeniSha Hair Design in Wauchope, where the new owner, Ami has agreed to cut their hair at no cost.
“My husband Skip, otherwise known as Jarod Smith, will be having his very long hair cut to donate it to ‘Hair with Heart’, to make children’s wigs,” said Sonia.
“I will be having mine shaved. Sadly I cannot donate my hair as it has been colour-treated.
“We have a My Cause fundraiser page that has been open for just over two weeks. We have had a fantastic response from family and friends,” she said.
The couple have delivered donation tins and posters to local stores to boost their fundraising.
They are: JeniSha hair design, Wild Karma Tattoo, Coppy’s Butcher’s, IGA Wauchope and Wauchope One Stop $2 Plus Shop.
On the day of the big haircut, Ami at JeniSha has invited the general public to come along and watch, donate or join in if they wish, by having their heads shaved, or perhaps their beards or even eyebrows.
