Lincoln vs leukemia

Lincoln may have lost his long locks, but has certainly lost no admirers.

After two years of growing a mighty blonde mane, the Werribee local buzzed it all off to raise money for the World’s Greatest Shave on Wednesday, June 4.

This eight-year-old’s mission against leukaemia is a personal one.

His two-year old sister Dorothy is currently battling the form of cancer.

“I love her a lot and this is basically why I am doing it,” Lincoln said.

“Everyone is going through something different and some of them need help like us.”

Mother Katy Rayner said, “Lincoln has always had such a kind and generous heart”.

She suggested his desire to show solidarity with those in need could be a reason to rally the community behind a fundraiser.

A good leader can find a positive strategy through turmoil.

“But the good thing about it, there’s going to be a few bald people now at home, so we can all help each other,” Lincoln said.

It should come as no surprise that Ms Rayner said Dorothy “loves her big brother.”
