Craigh March, Shane Briggs, Jordan Fowler, Ty Fernance and Johnny Kasprzak will be become fresh faced in a bid to raise funds and awareness for the Children's Tumour Foundation of Australia.

But specifically, they want to help their little mate Lennox Burgess who has genetic condition Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF).

Lennox's mother, Kelly Burgess, said the Windella family had been blown away by the support of the local community.

"We are amazed by the community and businesses getting together and donating from the kindness of their hearts," she said.

"NF is a progressive tumour disorder. It causes tumours to grow on the nerves throughout the body.

"It's a lifelong condition ... and it's a scary and unknown condition. Unknown to the point, that you just don't know what's going to happen.

"Lennox is happy and healthy now but there is no guarantee. We don't know what's going to happen in the future."

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is the most common type, and is estimated at affecting one in 3000 people in Australia.

A portion of funds raised through the campaign will be invested into a MEK Inhibitor Research Trial that promises real hope and real results for those living with NF1.

Craigh March, who is Lennox's neighbour, said the campaign was born from a chat between Ms Burgess and himself.

"We started to work out ideas about how to raise money, and then I came up with the perfect idea to shave," he said.

"I've had the beard for 26 years. My kids haven't even see me without a beard. I'm really stoked with the amount of money.

"We want to raise awareness as well. It's not a condition that many people know about. We want people to understand it."

The group have raised nearly $9000 but are aiming to reach $15,000.

Ms Burgess, who is also the foundation's local support worker, said the campaign was also about raising awareness about the relatively unknown condition.

"Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know what this condition is. It's more common than cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy but people know those more because of all the fundraising and awareness," she said.

"It can be a lonely disorder ... I'm hoping people in the community with NF will come forward."

The big shave will be held on October 12 at Lochinvar Hotel from 12pm. There will games, lucky door prizes, auctions and raffles to help raise additional funds on the day.
