If you are wondering what happened to Piri Weepu's hair and beard,
here is the answer to your question.
Demolition company of Shilton and Brown are the lucky ones.
They bought the clippings of Piri Weepu's hair and beard
for $5000 off TradeMe.
The idea now is to strap it on to a demolition ball
and raise the Securitas building to raise money.
They are running a sweepstake to see how long Weepu's hair
will stay on the wrecking ball.
The idea goes back to when Piri Weepu broke his ankle
back in October and decided to grow his hair and beard,
and shaved it off to raise money for 3-year-old cancer
battler Alessandra Clements.
And her father is moved
by the generosity of the people of Christchurch
despite their own situation.
The money will go towards helping Alessandra's parents
who remain at her side during these trying times.
