GOLDEN VALLEY’S Cristy Hall was only six when her Aunty Bev died of cancer, but the loss had a big impact on the little girl.

On the 40th anniversary of her death in May, Cristy thought, ‘Go Pink for Breast Cancer Research – that’s a nice way to honour her.’

In mid-July Cristy’s family and friends gathered at Deloraine’s British Hotel to watch her daughters Hollie and Charli shave their mother’s (pink) hair to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

On hand was Sue Bellamy from Deloraine Lions, who will boost fundraising by raffling a load of firewood at the Deloraine Woolworths supermarket.

Cristy has raised more than $3500 so far and if you’d like to contribute, find Cristy’s fundraiser page on fundraise.nbcf. org.au.
