People will be losing their hair to raise money for the Child Cancer foundation.
CCF business development manager Delwynne Hahunga says everyone registered has their own interesting and very special stories of why they're shaving their heads.
Tauranga nine-year-old George Brown would like to help children living with cancer.
'It must be really scary,” says George. 'My Mum is having chemo treatment and is bald so I would be supporting her if I was bald too.”
The Mount Beach Bald 2015 Funrazor Shave Your Lid for a Brave Kid event is at Mount Main Beach on March 7. Registrations open at 11.00am and shaving starts at 11.30am.
Head on down and support the shavees and a great cause.
