Shayne Ints and his sister Nicole will be losing their locks, along with Micheal Kindt and anyone who else who feels brave on the night.

“Shavers” are only allowed a “No.1” haircut, for OH&S reasons, but that’s still an extremely short hair-cut. You might prefer to be sponsored to dye your hair instead, or make a donation. All the funds raised go to the Leukaemia Foundation.

“It’s a really important cause,” he said.
