Rocket’s Shave for a Cure
This Friday!

Rocket has officially raised an incredible $7,146 and is now sitting at NUMBER 1 in New Zealand for individual fundraisers!

This Friday she’ll be shaving in front of her school, friends, and family. First, her beautiful long hair will be donated to Freedom Hair NZ to be made into a wig, and then she’ll go all-in with the full shave to support Shave for a Cure.

And she’s not doing it alone…
Uncle Tui is stepping up too! His dreadlocks are getting shaved, and later that day he’s going full pink 🩷 for the cause.

This is your last chance to donate, every little bit truly helps and is so appreciated. Let’s keep Rocket in that top spot and make Friday unforgettable!

At just 10 years old, Rocket has been growing her hair to donate to Freedom Hair NZ, and she’s also shaving her head to support Shave for a Cure — helping Kiwis living with blood cancer and conditions like leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. 💪💙

And she’s not doing it alone her Uncle Tui McKenzie is stepping up too! 🤞🏽 He’ll be shaving off his dreadlocks and dyeing his hair pink to help boost Rocket’s fundraising and show his support. 💚💇‍♂️🩷

Rocket is currently sitting 4th in New Zealand for individual fundraising, and with your help, we can push her even closer to 1st place! 🥇
We’re just $1,500 away from the top spot!

Please support if you can every dollar counts and every share helps spread the word.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s donated, shared, or cheered Rocket on. And and Uncle Tui I hope your still keen on pink hair. Together we’re making a difference! 💚

Rockets Update!

We’ve raised $4,002 so far – thank you so much to everyone who has donated and supported this cause. 💚

My hair is now long enough to be made into a wig, and I really hope it brings confidence and a smile to someone’s day.

If you haven’t already, please share my page and help spread the word – every bit of support makes a difference.

Reminder: Shave Day is at the end of November, so there’s still plenty of time to get involved.

And a big shoutout to Uncle Tui – can’t wait to have you there on the day, shaving and rocking your pink hair! 🩷

Thank you all again – let’s keep pushing for an even bigger total!
