Son shaves head in father’s memory DEAGAN Newman will have his Dad on his mind when he takes part in the World’s Greatest Shave this year. Ten-year-old Deagan’s father Sam died from blood cancer in 2017. This year, Deagan will have his head shaved to raise funds for cancer research. Sam Newman worked at Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre before his death. The swimming centre has hosted World’s Greatest Shave event since 2018 to commemorate Newman and raise money for an important cause. Deagan will visit the pool
this week to have his head shaved. Deagan Newman says he is taking part in the charity event because “we want to be able to help other families.” Peninsula Leisure CEO Katherine Thom said she is proud of the staff who will take part this week. “We’re so proud of our ongoing commitment to the World’s Greatest Shave. Members of our team have experienced firsthand the impacts of blood cancer, so we love being able to offer our members, staff and the general public a chance to shave, colour or braid their hair. It’s a fun way to sup-
port this important cause,” she said. “We are encouraging new and old participants to come on down and join in the fun. If you aren’t up for changing your hair, simply come along for a delicious morning tea and be part of the atmosphere on the day. This event is open to the entire community. Be brave and shave – and help raise funds for the annual World’s Greatest Shave at PARC.” PARC raised $5000 through the fundraiser last year.
