Buzz-the-Fuzz

Yesterday's Buzz-the-Fuzz was part of Bluey Day, a national event held annually to raise money for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Bluey Day was on Saturday and saw emergency services personnel and community members raise $1000 for the privilege of losing their hair.

In 10 years, Bluey Day has raised $17 million.
Buzz-the-Fuzz co-ordinator Sen-Constable Craig Amezdroz said the event was a big success.

Shavers were FOX FM's Matt Tilley, celebrity hairdresser Edward Beale, Bluey Day founder Sgt Karl David and former Big Brother housemates Reggie Bird and Igor Vurmeski.
While they spent four hours shaving heads, organisers sold merchandise and rattled tins to raise funds for children.

During the event, Andrea Rasile, 7, was named 2005 Bluey Day's Youngest Achiever after organising an event in Thomastown last Sunday.
His mother Kathy had three of her four children, including Andrea, stricken with cancer or a life-threatening illness.


I think until Andrea participated in Bluey Day,
the record for the youngest partcipant was held by
my workmate Nick DeKunder's daughter, Ailsa.
