Ms Grima’s hair had already been dyed multiple colours by a local hairdresser, then they had the bright idea of tying it into many little ponytails.

Each one was sold for a gold coin donation, and by the end of the day their efforts added to what had already been achieved, reaching an impressive $4322.70 in donations to Relay For Life.
