Point Cook soldier Tylee Jackson will sacrifice her curly locks for a military crop, but it has nothing to do with her defence force work.
The mother-of-four will adopt a short-back-and-sides look later this month as part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave campaign.
Ms Jackson says her partner loves her hair but supports her decision to lose her tresses to raise money for research and help people beat leukaemia and other blood cancers.
“With each clip I will be closer to raising $500 or more for the cause,” the 42-year-old said. “I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been touched by cancer and it’s time we found a cure.”
Leukaemia Foundation state general manager Stephanie Hechenberger said that in Victoria about 3000 people are projected to be diagnosed with a blood cancer this year.
