SHAVE: WORLD'S GREATEST: Raeshel Tabone (second from left) with the crew from Strand On High after having her head shaved for cancer at school.

BEFORE: For St Peter’s High School student Raeshel Tabone, participating in the World’s Greatest Shave wasn’t about the money, it was about the bigger picture. She shaved her head last week so her fellow students would take note – cancer will hit many Australians close to home. And everyone must work toward a cure.

SHAVE: I decided to participate in The World's Greatest Shave when I heard and ad on the radio at work. I hadn't shaved my head since I was young so I was kinda nervous, but I thought to myself that some people don't get a choice whether this happens or not so I did it. I raised a little over $1400 and everyone now finds my scalp humorous... I'm really glad I did it though. - Nic Price

SHAVE: My 16yr old son dyed his hair this year after his pop passed away from cancer in October. He only raised a small amount of money but I'm still proud of him. - Tracy Yates
