When Chris Boudet walks her dog in the morning, a hoodie is essential.
It's not just that the mornings are getting cooler, it's that she has no - or at least very little - hair.
Last week Chris, Te Puke Country Lodge care home manager, had her head shaved in support of Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand's Shave for a Cure.
She says it was on a hunch that she decided it was a good way for her to raise money for the cause.
''I very much follow my intuition in a lot of the things I do,'' she says.
