Heads shaved en masse

FOUR men from the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority had their heads shaved recently to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave.

The event was instigated by healthy soils project officer Tony Gardner, who was originally to be the only one to go bald.

Along with Tony, catchment planning manager Dan Garlick, project delivery team leader Matt Bowler and community waterway officer Matt Khoury all lost their locks.

Mr Khoury was particularly brave, as he had quite a full head of long, surfie locks.

“Despite having a cold head over winter, the inconvenience is nothing in comparison to that faced by thousands who have to undergo the awfulness of cancer and chemotherapy,” Mr Gardner said.

In total, the guys raised around $1150.
