Colin Marsh has a new look, all in the name of a good cause.
His hair, beard, eyelashes and even the hair on his ears has been shaved clean off, as the Sunbury local continues to raise funds for Cancer Council Victoria.
Surrounded by family and an army of supporters, Mr Marsh sat in the salon chair on Friday, August 29, in Synergy Hair and Beauty and was more than ready to brave the shave.
“I just thought I wanted to do my bit because I know people that have succumbed (to cancer), a good mate,” he said.
Within 15 minutes, Mr Marsh was completely transformed, looking like a new version of himself.
“It’ll be novel looking at myself when I brush my teeth in the morning now. I’ll put the comb away,” he said.
“This isn’t the first time I did it, I did this in the mid 80’s and it was a pain when it was growing back.
“Hopefully it’ll grow back.”
He said nobody could quite believe he was going to shave off all the hair on hos head, but everyone had been very supportive of the cause, with over $600 raised in donations to the Cancer Council.
Mr Marsh also thanked the staff at Synergy Hair and Beauty, including manager Angela Del Masto who shaved his hair.
“Ang has been into it the whole way, (the Synergy staff) have donated their time and effort and everything else,” he said.
