Patients at the Royal Melbourne Hospital received a boost during May when Aaron Henneman, Andrew Lovett and Nathan Lovett-Murray made a visit to the hospital to support the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave to Care and Cure.

Aaron got proceedings underway by colouring his hair while Andrew and Nathan took the plunge by shaving their heads to help promote the event, which is one of Australia’s biggest fundraising events.
