Cutting off my dreads to support kids with cancer

I’m cutting off my dreads to raise money to support kids with cancer

Invercargill, Southland

Kia Ora

My name is Rick Biddle from Invercargill. After many years of having my dreads it’s sadly time for us to say goodbye, but no worries as it’s for an awesome cause

I’m raising money for an awesome organisation called Chemo Crazies, who support kids going through chemotherapy. The main way they do this is by making packs full of awesome things kids would love. These packs help out a smile on these kids brave faces as they walk their chemo journey

This cause is also very personal to me and my Whanau, having lost two siblings and my mother to cancer

Finally, if you would like to be part of seeing the dreads come off come on down to Southland Boys High on Sun 18 September 11am to 4pm. The haircutting will be part of an awesome family Fun Day Out!

Thanks for your support
