Black Hill Primary School Emma Clayton shaved her head on her birthday on Tuesday at school.
THIS WEEKEND marks the peak of the 2013 World's Greatest Shave.
Many people in Ballarat and surrounds are making the sacrifice to shave or colour their hair, supporting leukaemia research and in solidarity with those who have gone through the leukaemia treatment process themselves.
The Courier invites anyone participating to send in their photos from their shave, or from any event this month that is supporting the Leukaemia Foundation.
You can send in your pictures via The Courier's iPhone app, free to download from the iTunes store, and The Courier's Android app, free from the Google Play Store.
You can also submit photos by emailing them to nicole.cairns@fairfaxmedia.com.au.
