Kiwi all-rounder Jimmy Neesham who might not be on the selection radar for the national team but he is giving his best to give back something to the society.
The all-rounder posted a picture on his Instagram handle with a shaved head on the left frame and the earlier one in the right. He shaved off his hair to lent his support to camp quality.
The bio on the social media app reads:
“I play cricket. I’m also shaving my head to support children with cancer.” The caption in the picture read, “From boy next door to cell next door. More than happy to do my bit to support camp quality. Over $3,000 raised already!”
Neesham is supporting the cause which will help the children in New Zealand who is suffering from cancer. He is enjoying the pretty small yet significant pride and joy of camping. He started a fundraiser for the same on camp4campquality and had so far raised over $ 3,400.
Neesham’s description on his page reads:
“I’ve created this page because I want to do my bit to make sure every child living with cancer in New Zealand gets to have the cool experience of going to camp, and have some fun at the same time.
The Camp Quality conducts different summer camps for children who are battling cancer in most regions in and around New Zealand. They are managed by enthusiastic individuals who want to bring a change in the lives of the children and hence Neesham wants to encourage it further.
“Camp Quality New Zealand runs really special week-long summer camps for children (5-16 years) living with cancer in 5 regions throughout the country. They also organise weekend winter camps, family days and other activities throughout the year. Their camps are all run by passionate volunteer teams including medical staff, and each camper has their own 24/7 fully trained Companion during camp. This year I have decided to put my name forward to be a companion, and make a difference to a special child’s life,” it further stated.
“It costs Camp Quality $3,000 per year for each child to come to camp and so I’m doing my bit to help. I have teamed up with five of the lads from the Otago Volts… Hamish Rutherford, Mark Craig, Jimmy Neesham, Brad Wilson, and Christi Viljoen. We will be shaving our heads at the top of Baldwin Street in early November for the cause. Every donation counts, so please help us get behind this awesome charity!” the statement further stated.
