Alice excited to brave the shave and help others

OCEAN Grove’s Alice Moon says she believes shaving her head is a great way to raise money for children and families affected by blood cancer.

Alice, 12, is taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave and will undergo the shavers at Strapper Surf in Ocean Grove on Friday March 16.

Alice said she was only in Prep when she decided she wanted to shave her head for charity.

“I was a young grade prep girl when I clearly remember a Grade 6 girl doing it at my school and thought it was the coolest thing to do,” Alice said.

“I nagged my mum to do it for two years and she finally agreed.

“I enjoy helping people and believe this is a way for me to contribute to helping children and their families in this challenging situation.

“After all it is only hair and mine will grow back – I’m super lucky.”

Alice hopes to raise $700, and has almost reached her goal.

Dom Spiller from Park Lane Men’s Hairdressing will shave her head, and is donating $1 from every hair cut he performs until March 16 to the World’s Greatest Shave.

The event is on Friday March 16 at 5pm.
