Supporting dad: Anastasia of Alfords Point is raising money for her father John, who is battling aggressive brain cancer. They are pictured with Anastasia's mother, Danielle.
Anastasia, age 9, would like one special gift for Christmas this year – to keep her father and other sufferers alive.
The Alfords Point schoolgirl has raised more than $10,000 for the Charlie Teo Foundation, in support of her dad, John Meggos.
In January this year, he was diagnosed with grade IV glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Anastasia, a dancer from Menai Dance Centre, will also be donating her locks to Hair with Heart, to make wigs for patients. She will have her head shaved on Saturday.
