The Terrace School year eight student Grace Wardle completed her ‘shave for a cure’ buzz cut on Saturday (April 22) to raise money for leukaemia and blood cancer research.

Her fundraising page has reached $1,198 and Grace is keeping it open for a while longer.

Her mum Melinda Tweedie said it went without a hitch.

“She loves it and didn’t even want to wear her hat, even though it was freezing.”

Grace thanked everyone in the community who has sponsored her and supported the cause so far.
