A whopping 19 Melbourne Storm players have agreed to shave their heads in a bid to raise $15,000 for Camp Quality, a charity supporting children facing a cancer diagnosis.

Camp Quality is a non-profit Australian charity focused on helping children and their families with cancer support, mainly targeted at those aged 0-15.

The announcement was made by Storm co-captain and Camp Quality ambassador, Christian Welch via Twitter.

"On Friday, myself and 18 Melbourne Storm players are going to be shaving our heads, raising some much-needed funds for Camp Quality, an amazing charity that helps kids and families dealing with a cancer diagnosis," Welch said.

The former Queensland prop forward has been working with Camp Quality since 2017, providing Melbourne Storm tickets to affected families.

In 2018, Welch raised over $10,000 for the charity by hosting a Dine at Mine event at his home.

Welch has been facing his own battle over the past year, working his way back to playing following a gruesome achilles injury suffered in Round 1 of last season, his third season-ending injury in his carer.

Other notable players that have pledged to shave their heads as part of this movement include international representatives, Cameron Munster and Harry Grant; as well as former NSW back-rower, Tariq Sims.

The Melbourne Storm are not the first NRL club to work with Camp Quality; the Canterbury Bulldogs entered a partnership with the charity in 2009, their logo appearing on the front of the club's jerseys.

In 2012, Bulldogs' coach Des Hasler raised $100,000 for the charity by shaving his iconic windswept hair.
