After starting out in September with a goal of raising $1000, Jed ended up raising more than $25,000 for a $3 million clinical trial being run by the Gillies McEndoe Research Institute in Wellington.
Jed’s father, who was The Fork and Tap’s co-publican, died in May, aged 49, after a long fight with glioblastoma, a malignant brain tumour.
Friday would have been his 50th birthday.
Jed’s 13-year-old sister, Zoe, helped perform the honours with the clippers.
