World's Greatest Shave - Behind the News

Thousands of Australians are taking part in a fundraiser called the World’s Greatest Shave. They're shaving or colouring their hair to raise money for research into leukemia, a type of blood cancer that affects many Australians. Amongst the participants is 12-year-old Jack, the son of ABC sports presenter Paul Kennedy. He’s going to tell us why he’s taking part and why leukemia research is so important.
