Ms Speedie, 21, is no stranger to volunteering; she has volunteered as a firefighter for the past three years.
She completed her initial wildfire training with Malmsbury before moving to Daylesford, where she is association secretary.
She is not afraid to lose her hair for a good cause.
“Recently a member of our community passed away from cancer. She was a big supporter of our brigade and I wanted to do what I could to support people with cancer and help with research,” she said.
Ms Speedie will join more than 1.9 million Australians who have been sponsored to shave, colour or wax in the name of beating blood cancer over the past two decades.
“I’ve never shaved my hair totally before so I’m a bit nervous but hopefully it will grow back okay,” she said.
To support her head shave, people can attend the event at Daylesford Op Shop at 2pm or online at the World’s Greatest Shave.
