This was one bet Daniel was happy to lose
Arana College resident Daniel Leaper (18), of Nelson, holds his hair after he lost a bet with fellow students and had it cut off yesterday.
The University of Otago health sciences student bet fellow students they could not raise more than $5000 in the recent Relay for Life in Dunedin.
The college team ended up raising almost $7000 for the Cancer Society.
‘‘Sometimes it’s good to lose a bet,’’ he said.
The large quantity of hair cut from his head would be donated to Freedom Wigs in Dunedin, he said.
