WITH the aim of raising some men\u2019s health awareness and cancer research funds, one young boy from Inverleigh decided to shave his long locks as part of Movember.<\/p>\n

After ten-year-old Joseph Corcoran\u2019s two great uncles both died from cancer, his father Paul said he had decided to do something to help make a difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came up with all of this himself, I had just come back from Ireland because I was there for my father\u2019s birthday and my uncle had got sick and passed away,\u201d Mr Corcoran said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiona [Joseph\u2019s mother] also had an uncle that also died from cancer so he was thinking about that, it was all just fresh in the head for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s been getting involved which is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

With hair grown down to his shoulders, Joseph was inspired to get involved by others who had done Movember, as well as the<\/p>\n

The 10-year-old had his long hair shaved off by his mum, Fiona, at Herne Hill Reserve on Sunday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Leukaemia Foundation\u2019s World\u2019s Greatest Shave.<\/p>\n

Although he is the only one of his friends and family doing the shave, Joseph said they\u2019re all incredibly proud of his efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought because I had grown my hair long I could do something with it,\u201d he said. \u201cMum\u2019s cutting it so I\u2019m a bit excited and a bit scared to shave it off.<\/p>\n

\u201cFriends and family, some family from Ireland and some school teachers as well have donated to the cause and we have raised $3800 so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

As proud parents, Mr Corcoran said the community and extended family are all so happy with what Joseph\u2019s achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to look into donating his hair, maybe for kid\u2019s cancer wigs or something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to hit the $4000, we\u2019re only about $200 off at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
