A member of Junee's famed Pink Ladies, Ms Heard's efforts will launch this year's 'pink push'. Since forming 16 years ago, the team has raised $85,000 for the Cancer Council.
Owing to the contributions of Luke Duncan, who last year shaved his beard and dreadlocks for the charity, the Pink Ladies managed to raise a little over $10,000 in 2018.

Preparations are also underway for the the annual Girls Night In, which this year will likely be moved forward to coincide with Ms Heard's haircut.
