Ms Pacot is striving to raise as much money as she can to battle leukaemia.
She said her grandson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and that she lost her mother to the disease last year.
A challenge to join her in her quest to fund-raise for the World's Greatest Shave has been issued to "anyone anywhere in the world".
"They can join me and send the money directly to the Leukaemia Foundation," Ms Pacot said.
"I've got a team member in Queensland and I've sent an email to all the lovely politicians.
"At the moment I've tried to get the breakfast team from LAFM, but I haven't got any answer from them."
She last year raised more than $2000 in her bid to support medical research and has been "running around like a headless chook" to organise her greatest shave plans.
Plans will involve a picnic on Longford Village Green from 11am to 3pm, featuring a sausage sizzle by Perth Lions Club, hair shaving and colouring.
She said she was also looking for an MC for the event.
"Anyone who's good at speaking, someone to jump up and down and provide some ambience on the day," Ms Pacot said.
Admission to the event is free, but gold coin donations are welcome.
The shave will occur in March — for more information, or to enquire about joining the shave team, call Ms Pacot on 0417 845 526.
