George Smith Gives His Dreadlocks to Charity
After all the hoopla this year with opponents going after his hair on the playing field, rugby star George Smith decided it was time to let go of his hair and I can’t think of a more noble way to do it then for charity.
Canteen is a New Zealand organization which helps teenager with cancer to learn to live with and beyond the disease. In September, George’s wife cut off his hair and it went up for auction with all proceeds going to Canteen. At the last count on Sept. 22., it was $A865 (approx. $550+ in US dollars). I can’t find information on the final price, but if you know, feel free to chime in.
Kudos to you George. That was a great way to move on from your dreadlocks.
