A Close Shave From Friday 15th March, people all over Australia were going under the clippers, and a very dedicated bunch of locals went for the close shave as part of the Leukaemia Foundation of Australia’s World’s Greatest Shave. Lower Mountains and the Plains folk came out in droves to support 10-yearold leukaemia patient Connor Ansell and his “Inspired By Connor” Team to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. Several local schools held “Crazy Hair” days, with some students, parents and teachers getting the chop in front of the cheering school crowds. Cath Werry from Do Hairdressing Salon in Glenbrook provided huge support for Connor’s team on the Saturday by providing shaving and colouring for the masses. Connor’s parents, Mark and Debbie, were overwhelmed by the community

support. While funds are still being collected, the “Inspired by Connor” team is currently the 5th highest fundraising team in NSW, with a total of over $28,000.00. That’s a huge community effort! Many thanks to all who sponsored the team. If you haven’t yet sponsored, and you’d like to, there’s still time. You can just log onto http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/markansell
