40 for Kynie: Four Decades of Love, One Unbreakable Promise
SHAVE FOR A CURE 40 FOR 40 
In loving memory of Kynie Jean
In 1986, a beautiful little girl named Kynie Jean lost her brave fight with Leukaemia.
She was just 2 years old.
This year, I shave again, not just for awareness, but for 40 years of love, memory, and hope.
40 people shaving for 40 years since Kynie passed
Honouring a legacy that began in 1998, when I first picked up the clippers
Continuing a tradition that saw four generations shave together, including Kynie’s Nan, Jean, who bravely shaved at 83 years young in 2016.
Now, I'm calling on our community once more.
