Cancer dreads
The Lowood and surrounding community is encouraged to support local butcher Kurt Brown, who is about to undergo a dramatic makeover for a good cause.
The co-owner of M&K Butcher Brothers, Kurt will have his distinct dreadlocks shaved off at the front of the butcher’s shop from 10am on Saturday, April 6.
A sausage sizzle will also be a part of the occasion, involving a gold coin donation, while all proceeds go to the Leukaemia Foundation.
"I’m raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to give Australians facing blood cancer life-changing practical and emotional support," Kurt said.
"And to fund critical research, bringing us closer to the day when zero lives are lost to blood cancer."
Having always had hair, and having grown his dreadlocks for about six years, Kurt said "it’s going to be very different" for him.
Kurt said he could see himself growing dreadlocks again, "maybe not straight away but down the track".
