A “shave night” held in Kingaroy on Friday night has raised another $3200 for the “Brooksy’s Crew” Relay For Life team.<\/p>\n

“Brooksy’s Crew” has been raising funds for cancer charities for the past 12 months in memory of a young Kingaroy resident, Ben Brooks, who died in 2022 of leukaemia and lymphoma.<\/p>\n

The “crew” – made up family members and friends – had already raised about $2000 for this year’s Relay For Life online before Friday night.<\/p>\n

Their latest big effort led to 10 people losing their hair and\/or beards at a function held in the Carrollee Hotel’s beer garden.<\/p>\n

It was also a special night for local photographer Nancy Jayde who decided to lose her locks in memory of a friend, Mark Schultz, who died from pancreatic cancer in March last year.<\/p>\n

Nancy told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> that Mark had been her hairdresser for years.<\/p>\n

When he died, she initially let her hair grow. Then as time went by, she thought that shaving it all off could be a way to support her friend’s memory so she approached “Brooksy’s Crew” with her idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another Kingaroy resident, Dylan Markwell, then offered to have his hair and beard shaved if he raised $1000.<\/p>\n

Nancy and Dylan were joined under the razor on Friday night by Miles Huth, Jake and Connor Sullivan, Mitchell Crossley, Zac Hay, Braydon Andersen, Beau Kanay and Cooper Rabbit.<\/p>\n
