“My hair is currently shoulder length and I have never shaved it before, although I have had my hair shorter than it is now,” Lucie said.

“It has never been cropped short so this will be a huge change for me.”

Lucie will be going under the clippers to help locals and as a mark of respect to the members of staff at the Mercy Care Centre, family and friends that have battled cancer.

The fundraiser is combined with Mercy Care’s Christmas raffle which all leads into the facilities main fundraiser its annual cocktail party which will be held in March 2019.

“I would be happy to raise anything from $500 upwards but I know that the centre is aiming for $5000,” Lucie said.

“I don’t think I am that well known that we will raise that much, but you never know.

“I had thought that the person who made the largest donation might like to have a crack at the shave but I think it will more than likely be someone who can handle the clippers appropriately,” she said.
