A local i-Site worker will be shaving his head for charity on show at the Rotorua Night Market tonight.
Senior travel consultant Zhev Tio Beattie said he had been quite lucky in that he and his family had not been directly affected by cancer.
However, a lot of family friends and work friends had been affected, he said.
"Personally for me it's just a way to give back to the less fortunate."
He said he decided to do the shave at the Night Market as there was a lot of energy there, and there would be a great crowd.
