Colourful wigs and wacky hairdos were the style of the day for Tyler Bisset and his friends at St Johns Hill School yesterday.As one of four young ambassadors for the Child Cancer Foundation, Tyler helps to raise support for children and families undergoing treatment and hospital stays.
Now in remission, Tyler has a necklace with more than 700 beads representing every cancer treatment and challenge he has faced.
Tawhero School and Porse home educators in Whanganui formed part of the national Wig Wednesday fundraising campaign .
Many schools, businesses and individuals including world heavyweight boxing champion Joseph Parker donned hairpieces to support the cause.
After meeting children and their families undergoing cancer treatment Parker said he felt humbled by their courage.
