Congratulations to Sheryl Tamini,from our Costa Berries Corindi team, who was brave enough to have her head shaved today as part of the World’s Greatest Shave. Sheryl's son Ryan did the honours with plenty of Costa staff on hand to show their support and donate to the cause. Sheryl knows only too well the heartbreak and anguish cancer causes, having lost her first husband and the father of her three young children when he was just 31-years-old. That was 25 years ago, but for... Sheryl the memories remain strong. Sheryl said she first participated in the World’s Greatest Shave when her daughter was at Woolgoolga High School around 19 years ago. “Kate was in Year 8 and we both had our heads shaved – that was really emotional,” Sheryl said. “I really want people to understand how important it is for families of cancer patients to have support. “We need more research. If we can catch cancer earlier, families won’t have to endure what we went through.” Donations for Sheryl Tamini can still be made online at the World’s Greatest Shave site: https://bit.ly/2HGzKpM
