This Friday, we share a story that epitomises our values in action with a team member's heartfelt act raising funds and support for a fellow colleague facing  a cancer diagnosis. PPS NZ Business Development Manager, Nicole is currently navigating her journey with breast cancer and all the challenges that come with the diagnosis. The Invercargill branch and employees across New Zealand have banded together and shown their support by fundraising and donating where they can. Notably, we’d like to share a very heartwarming act from fellow BDM and friend, Kylie Cox! ![Shave for Nicole](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/PFM%20Internal%20Comms/Work%20and%20Smile/Shave%20for%20Nicole.jpg?width=428&height=640&name=Shave%20for%20Nicole.jpg) Kylie has created a Give a Little page in support of Nicole and is raising funds while pledging to shave off all her fabulous hair! Kylie’s initial goal is set to $10,000, and Programmed Property Services have provided their support by matching dollar for dollar raised for this wonderful initiative.  On Kylie's page, you can read a powerful story of the challenges Nicole has faced so far, and Kylie's inspiring determination to support her through this difficult period. We strongly encourage you to have a read, and to donate if you can.   [Read and donate to Nicole's fundraiser](https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/i-am-shaving-my-hair-to-raise-money)     --- If you have a story to share that demonstrates the reasons we Work and Smile, you can submit your story by clicking below.
