MACKENZIE ROBERTSON

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to 9-year-old Mackenzie Robertson, who has once again taken the brave step to shave her head for charity. This is the second time Mackenzie has donated her hair, the first time was when she was five years old. Mackenzie recently cut off her long braids and shaved her head in front of the St. Paul's Rutherford School Community. Mackenzie also raised $2000 for Kids with Cancer, surpassing her original goal of $1000. These funds, generously donated by friends, family, and the school community will financially support families that have a child suffering with cancer. Mackenzie had been growing her hair for two years with the goal of donating it for cancer wigs and she had 80cm of her hair cut off for this cause before the shave. I wish to acknowledge her bravery and selflessness as she gives what she can to people in need and inspires others in her community to do the same. I hope this recognition encourages you to continue doing this. Well done, Mackenzie.
