Goodbye Top Knot !

$1,190 of $500 goal
Given by 31 generous donors in 7 weeks

Brent is chopping off his beloved top knot ! Donations will be given to Alzheimers New Zealand and spent on exercise equipment to donate!

Auckland

THIS IS MASSIVE ! We can't believe he is ACTUALLY willing to do this !

As a part of Brents New Zealand journey, UNFORTUNATELY, he grew his long blonde locks and they soon became part of his growth here in NZ....

As his time in New Zealand is nearing to an end, for now, it's time to say goodbye. So instead of just getting rid of the mop... Brent decided he needed accountability. He wanted to give something back to a charity, one that sat very close to his heart. Brent has chosen to give back to those with Dementia. Brent grew up with his grandmother suffering with Alzheimer’s , not to mention the number of patients he has treated over the years that also were diagnosed with Dementia.

This BIG CHOP is part of a two part plan. Part two, Brent is holding a charity tennis tournament. This will be held at the ASB Tennis Arena, in Next Generation Gym, Auckland.

With the funds donated during the Tennis Tournament, Brent is going to give back to the local community. He will purchase a variety of exercise equipment to gift to a number of retirement homes, encouraging cognitive and physical activity, alongside exercise and Pilates. Exercise Equipment - Therabands/ Balls / Pilates mats / Sensory tools for the carers / Free private Pilates classes, on their sites to teach Pilates and exercise for the elderly community.

Overall, Brent is aiming to spread awareness for Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
