Ashtonfield's eight-year-old Kane Ransom braved some truly terrifying tasks on Friday to assist in finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Kane, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for leukaemia, volunteered to be an ambassador for the Children's Cancer Institute's CEO Dare to Cure campaign.
Friday saw 50 business leaders take on an array of challenges in Sydney's Royal Botanical Gardens to raise $555,000 for childhood cancer research.
Kane took on three dares: getting slithered on by an Olive Python, Australia's second largest snake, flying trapeze and shaving his head. He was joined by his 10-year-old sister Naveen in some of the challenges.

Kane's father Brendan Ransom said his son took on the tasks with "as much enthusiasm as I expected."
"He did the flying trapeze about four or five times and was schmoozing with a lot of the CEOs and also got his shaved," he said.
Mr Ransom said he wasn't worried about Kane participating in any of the challenges.
"I guess with what he's been through, what can really go wrong? Anything else is a mere obstacle for Kane in his life now. He just got the job done."
