August 8, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last weekend’s “shave for a cure” by Murgon Mustangs coach Mark McDonald raised an amazing $1576.95 for the Cancer Council.<\/p>\n

Mark had been growing his beard and hair since February when his sister-in-law was diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n

During that six months, Mark rapidly turned into a cross between the Booie Monster and wolfman.<\/p>\n

Alicia Pidgeon, from Alicia\u2019s Spa and Hair Worx, made quick work of Mark’s beard and locks during a break in the rugby league at Murgon Sportsground.<\/p>\n

Mark and his wife Jennifer collected money before the day by walking around Murgon streets.<\/p>\n

More was raised at the grounds on Saturday – with several generous cash donations of more than $100 boosting the coffers.<\/p>\n

As a mark of solidarity with the cancer awareness message, all four senior teams in action – Murgon, Kingaroy, Nanango and Wondai – wore pink socks.<\/p>\n

If you didn’t get the opportunity to donate on the day, donations can also be made at the Commonwealth Bank in Murgon or by electronic transfer to: BSB 064-423 a\/c 10156164<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
