A team of thirteen Year 13 students will be shaving their heads to raise funds and awareness for the Child Cancer Foundation by participating in Fun Razor.

In these uncertain times, the boys are aware that the majority of us are fortunate to be safe and healthy. Some in our community are less fortunate, including the two children in NZ each week who are diagnosed with cancer. The students bravely sacrificing their locks in the middle of winter are: Patrick Moore, George Mulder, Josh Earnshaw, Josh O’Neill, Rylan Cummings, Jack Blakemore, Tom Scott, Lucas Wood, Harry Delaney, Sean Rhodes, Callum Bowmar, Quinn Motley and Peter Rawlins.

If you are keen to support these boys on their mission, please go to the link below and press the “give now” button, which allows you to donate generously to any or all of the boys. Every dollar counts. The boys have set a goal of $10,000 - to date, they are stoked to have raised over $9,000 (as of the 4th of May).  Thank you to those who have contributed. Patrick Moore, has already achieved the personal goal he set himself of $1,500.

The shave itself will be on 2 June if all goes to plan. Haircuts will be auctioned online beforehand, i.e. the highest bidder for each student will get to cut the hair off. To raise further funds and awareness, Quinn Motley, Josh O’Neill and Josh Earnshaw are challenging themselves to complete a run on 1 June (Queen’s Birthday), supported by FrontRunner Timaru. Quinn and Josh O will be running 10km and Josh E will be running a half marathon. 

The TBHS team has partnered with HOTYF Apparel (hold on to your friends) - a clothing company set up by 2017 Old Boy Ollie Browning, which supports Mental Health NZ. The company will be providing three lucky donors with free hoodies, t-shirts and hats. The winners will be drawn on the day of the haircut from all non-anonymous donors who have donated at least $10, so get donating!
