Ben and Wendy Nason
Fans of AFL club Richmond will know Ben Nason as a speedy midfielder with a huge mop of blonde dreadlocks.
The 21-year-old will take the shearers to his hairdo this week in support of his mother Wendy, a breast cancer sufferer.
The pair is looking to raise as much money as possible for the McGrath Foundation, which aims to place breast care nurses in communities across Australia, and educate young women to become breast aware.
Breast cancer is a disease that currently affects one in nine Australian women of all ages and backgrounds.
Ben’s hair transformation can be seen on the official Richmond Football Club web site, richmondfc.com.au, at midday on Friday May 6.
McGrath Foundation
The McGrath Foundation was co-founded by Jane and Glenn McGrath after Jane’s initial recovery from breast cancer. The McGrath Foundation raises money to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia as well as increasing breast awareness in young women. To date we have placed 73 McGrath Breast Care Nurses across Australia who together have helped over 12,000 families.
