WHAT HE SAID
“The Foundation is an organisation and a cause very close to my heart as I have had close family and friends affected by leukaemia,” Brattan said.
“I decided two years ago to grow my hair with the eventual aim of having it shaved to raise awareness and funds as I’ve seen firsthand that those affected by Leukaemia and other blood cancers have to suffer incredibly.”
