World’s Greatest Shave
World’s Greatest Shave
Ms COUZENS (Geelong) (10:00): On Sunday I participated in the World’s Greatest Shave by spraying my hair red. I joined the Clarkey’s Angels team in support of a beautiful Geelong woman, Kylie Clarke, who survived leukaemia and wanted to raise funds to give back to others. This amazing woman has raised almost $35 000, with a team of 21 angels getting sponsors. Kylie also organised raffles and auction items donated from our generous community. The Geelong Performing Arts Centre provided the venue on Sunday for the hair colouring, shaves and sausage sizzle. Congratulations to Kylie, her angels and all those who contributed, because they are giving people living with blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need and also helping to drive rapid advancements in blood cancer research.
