Holly is also raising funds for The Orange Pigeon, a charity that grants wishes to adults who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening or terminal illness.

However, all he wanted was his family by his side – and they were.
Holly said she is doing the fundraiser to make her Pop proud.
“Ever since Pop was diagnosed and passed away, I wanted to do something to help,” the St Philip’s Christian College student said.
The big chop will take place at Fuse Gallery in Cessnock on June 4 at 10am.
