Close to the heart, close to the scalp

By PETER DOUGLAS

MT EVELYN fundraiser Emma Duff has continued her fine work, coming good on her promise to have her beloved locks chopped off in the name of the World’s Greatest Shave. Along with her sister Melanie Battisti and cousin Rachel Hawkes, the trio had raised $7000 for the Leukaemia Foundation. At the time, they were the highest fundraisers in Victoria. But after their shave event, that figure has ballooned to an off-the-scale $13,626. Ms Duff said she decided to get behind the cause after her father was diagnosed with leukaemia. Pictured, from left, are Emma Duff, Rachel Hawkes and Melanie Battisti who braved the shave. 150306
