Local girl Caitlyn Pullar has always wanted to help children suffering from cancer, but even she was surprised by the generosity of local residents and businesses at the fundraiser she recently held.
Caitlyn now sports a shaved head having lost her long locks, but raised a whopping $1500 for The Child Cancer Foundation in just six weeks. Caitlyn, 17, works with children and is studying to become a nanny. She used social media and the fundraising ‘everydayhero’ account to raise the cash. Caitlyn says not many girls her age would be willing to shave off their hair, but she hopes to have inspired them.
She would also like to thank Warkworth Countdown and Artisan Brown for helping her reach the target. But would she do it again?
“In a heartbeat! In fact I will do it again, except next time I won’t dye my hair so that then it can be used to make a hairpiece for children who have undergone chemotherapy.”
