Freyberg Girls Donate Hair For Teenage Cancer

Big Shave Animation A pair of Year 9 girls had their heads shaved to raise around $2000 for teenage cancer this week. In a well organised campaign, Jade Gunn and Sienna Nealon, recruited Justin and Kendall from MoreFM to shave their hair in The Plaza this week. Over a dozen other businesses sponsored the girls, including Decadence hair salon, who cleaned up the patches and tufts left particularly by Justin.

For a pair of young women who are barely teenagers, the willingness to part with their hair is about as impressive as their ability to raise such a sum for charity. Impressed with the initiative shown, Freyberg dedicated a mufti day to their chosen cause - increasing their total to around $3000 donated to Canteen.

Asked about appearing without her shoulder-length hair, Jade replied she saw beauty as something that comes from within, and that she didn't need her hair to like herself and how she looked.
