Why: World's Greatest Shave is one of Australia's largest fundraising events with the Leukaemia Foundation aiming to raise $3.5 million this year. Thousands of people across Queensland are expected to shave or colour their hair to show their support for patients with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders.

Redland residents can be brave and shave, wax or colour their hair or simply join in the fun and support those who do, at the various times and locations listed below. For further information visit www.worldsgreatestshave.com
