Fijian born Wallabies winger Henry Speight
Fijian born Wallabies winger Henry Speight has raised more than $30,000 for shaving his hair today and has met his target to donate to the kids with cancer in Fiji.
Last month Speight challenged his fans saying he will be happy to lose his iconic afro hairstyle, especially to help keep up the fight against the disease that took his mum when he was only a boy.
Speight’s mother Adi Litia Iloilo died of cancer when he was eight years old.
Two years ago, Speight was in Fiji to join the Walk On Walk Strong charitable walk with 15 children to raise money for cancer treatment.
