The colour and shave will be taking place in IGA, where Belinda works, on Monday, May 12.
The team there is seeking donations to help Belinda on her fundraising cause.
There is a QR code displayed at the supermarket that you can scan to donate.
Belinda is one of the thousands of Australians to step up to shave, cut or colour their hair and raise funds in support of those affected.
The World’s Greatest Shave funds critical support and research for the 150,000 Australians diagnosed with blood cancer.
Every dollar helps provide families with the support they need and is a step towards the Leukaemia Foundation’s goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.

Xavier Walker and Sarah Preston received best on ground medals in Tocumwal's traditional Anzac Day round.
The Tocumwal Bloods netball and football teams paid tribute to local WWI and WWII heroes in its ‘Anzac round’ match on Saturday.
The Bloods competed against Katandra which ultimately saw a mix of results with the junior sides managing to win.
Medals were presented to the best on ground for both senior football and netball. Congratulations to Sarah Preston for winning the Alice Adcock Medal in A grade netball, and Xavier Walker for winning the Sandy Family Medal in senior football.
Tocumwal has a long history with the armed forces, particularly during World War II when the air force base was located at Tocumwal and it was great to see so many people support the club’s Anzac commemorations.
