When Tania Charteris chops off her locks on Sunday it won't just be raising money for a special cause.
While the big cut is a fundraiser for local boy Joshua Gallagher, who has been fighting a brain tumour, Ms Charteris said she chose Father's Day to do the cut as a way of remembering her dad David who died of a brain tumour.
"It's a special day of remembering dad."
Ms Charteris had been thinking of cutting her hair off for some time and when she heard of the Gallagher family's story she decided to do it as a fundraiser for them.
Since his diagnosis Joshua has had four rounds of chemotherapy, spent extended periods of time in Starship Hospital and has had more than 40 general anaesthetics.
