JACK BERNE, 12, has already raised $1.8 million through his charity, A Fiver for a Farmer, so now he's putting his "endless" energy towards a new project.
Jack, who hails from Sydney's Northern Beaches, was 10 when he started A Fiver for a Farmer with the aim of providing relief to those struggling with the drought.
"I got people dressing up like farmers and bringing in $5,"Jack Berne said.
"Now we've raised 1.8 million dollars.
"Everyone loves a dress up day, especially if it's for a good cause — and the farmers were really needing the money.
"It felt like a good thing to do."
