Sam’s Shave

By Sam Hanneberry

It's time for the mullet to go and raise funds to stop cancer!

It's time for the mullet to go! My name is Sam and I am in grade 5. On Friday 8th December at school assembly I will be shaving off my beloved mullet to raise money for the Cancer Council.

I will be posting updates on my instagram page, including videos of the big shave.  https://instagram.com/cycling_mullet

Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’.

Thanks in part to generous Victorians, 7 in 10 of them will survive five years after a cancer diagnosis, but there’s still so much work to be done.

Cancer Council needs our support more than ever this year. Every dollar raised gives hope for a cancer free future. By supporting my event, you’re funding life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs, and support services that ensure no one has to face cancer alone.

Well done, Sam! Although I’m a big fan of the mullet, as it reminds me of my favourite doggies player, I am so proud of you raising funds for such a terrific cause. I’m very impressed with your leadership. Send my regards to Eddie and family. All the best, Mr Patterson

Puts my late 80s teen mullet to shame. Kudos Sammy. You should weave it into a blanket family heirloom once it’s come off.

Well done. I hope you will achieve your goal. Please look at places you can donate your hair for wigs. Penelope donated her hair 2 years ago for wigs for kids with cancer to a place in nsw. You are amazing.from Penelope and Leopold
