March 10 - 12 is the annual World's Greatest Shave.

Today is my 29th Birthday and I am shaving my head to help raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation to help families affected by leukaemia and other blood disorders like lymphomas and myeloma.

if anyone is interested or knows someone who may be interested in sponsoring me please follow this link :)

    My father-in-law was diagnosed with leukemia last week. It has been a devastating diagnosis for the family.

    Fortunately I know of no one in my family who has had leukaemia. I certainly have relatives and friends that have died or survived cancer.

    I am doing this because I can. It's a great cause, and well worth the effort because every little dollar raised helps, if even in a minuscule way. Plus I want to know what I'll look like with no hair! probably will look like my father. hahaha.
