A day of nerves and excitement was had at Farmers in Westfield Albany on April 7. Seven brave people said farewell to their hair for the annual Shave for a Cure event, raising money for the Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. Friends, family and shoppers cheered and clapped for those getting their heads shaved and some shoppers decided on the day to shave their hair off in support. The team raised more than $1880 and each of them are hoping to continue raising money after the event.

A trip to the mall for ice cream turned into a spontaneous head shave for Michele Watson.

A product of Westlake Boys’ High School’s basketball pro- gramme, Penney has spent 17 years at the top level. He became the second Kiwi in the NBA when he appeared for the Miami Heat in 2003, and has since played professionally in Spain, the NBA Development League, Israel, Lithuania, Germany and Turkey. Penney returned to the ANBL with Illawarra Hawks last season, averaging 20 points and 3.1 assists per game. This will be Penney’s second stint at the Breakers, his first four year stay back in 2007 culminated in the first championship for the club. New head coach is pleased Penney turned down offers from multiple ANBL clubs to come back to New Zealand. ‘‘We all know of Kirk’s scoring class and ability as a basketballer, but he brings so much to this group and to us as a club,’’ Henare says. ‘‘I played alongside him and marvelled at what he can do with a basketball, it will be a pleasure to coach him over these next three years back where it all began on Sharp shooter Kirk the North Shore.’’ Penney is back with Now a father to baby Olivia the Breakers. with wife Audra, Penney is proud to be returning home, not only to of the driving force that brings a into New Zealanders lives, on and more time with our little girl,’’ he Tom Abercrombie, Corey help the Breakers on the floor, but wonderful brand of basketball to off court,’’ Penney says. says.
