She wanted the correct measurement before cutting off the locks for the Variety program which makes wigs for children who lose their hair from cancer treatments.
Andie's hair was divided into four plaits which will go to Variety, but the cut has also helped her raise funds for Cootamundra Can Assist (see picture page 8).
Andie has always had long hair, so the big cut was watched by a dozen or more friends and family members who crowded into Split Enz with plenty of banter.
Andie has already raised $500 with more to be collected. You can still donate to the Fundraiser account at the ANZ Bank: BSB 012585 316842693.
GREAT EFFORT ANDIE
