Cutting off her hair for charity

Woy Woy resident Ms Kylie Mar will be cutting off her half-metre long hair on Wednesday, March 13, to support the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave.

Ms Mar said she planned to donate her hair to Sustainable Salons, a charity that makes wigs for cancer patients.

She has arranged with a local hairdresser to cut the hair of people taking part in the fundraiser without charge.

She had also organised a raffle with $1000 worth of prizes donated by local businesses to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.

"On the day we will have a cupcake sale and the raffle which is $2 to enter," Ms Mar said.

This will be the fourth time Ms Mar has cut her hair for charity.

She said she hopes to raise $860 through sponsorship.

"I don't have a hairdresser as I only cut my hair every three years for charity."

Ms Mar encouraged other people with hair longer than 20cm to consider donating it to Sustainable Salon.

People interested in joining Ms Mar's World's Greatest Shave team or local businesses interested in putting up a prize for the raffle can contact her at kylie.belinda.mar@gmail.com
