HEADS are being shaved and funds raised for Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation as northern Loddon communities rally around local sporting legend Rowan Broad.
Rowan, Pyramid Hill Football Netball Club’s netball operations director, has been diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
Three dozen players, officials and supporters were at Mitchell Park last Saturday night to have their heads shaved and raised more than $6000 for the foundation.
And this Saturday, Boort club will add to the coffers with their fundraiser now throwing support behind the foundation and the Broad family.
Rowan was a Boort reserves premiership player and wife Chelsea is a long-time Boort hockey player. Two of their children Tristan and Lillian play football and hockey with Boort.
Chelsea’s sister Jacqui said: “We have a list of people hoping to get their heads shaved this weekend if we raise enough money.”
Pyramid Hill president Bruce Moon was among those who had his head shaved last weekend. He said: “This is the true value of being involved in community sport.” 
“It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of unity, compassion, and support within our club and beyond,” Mr Moon said.
