Blade Two

Before the shave.


After the shave. There's actually a lot more hair left than I expected, still some colour on my head.
The baldy family.

I have some cash and cheques still to bank, so all up I raised $4984! Thanks again to everyone for their donations and support! Now I'm going to have to remember to pack the sunscreen for the Boutique Market tomorrow!

** Update - final amounts banked and a few more sponsors, adds up to $5208!

Wow you look AMAZING! You very brave for doing this and you're right - it looks like there is still quite a bit of hair there, probably also because of your hair colour. Spectacular - well done!

Karin said...

You know how true beauty comes from within? Your beauty shines independent of hairstyle. Your eyes are warm and you lips have a smile. Looked lovely. You look lovely. And I am sure you will look lovely tomorrow as well. Hats of for your love-in-action for your family!

Fantastic.
Think of how much good that money raised will do - such a small thing really will help so many people with Leukaemia & their families.
Bless you - from one carer to another.
And think of the funky beanies you can knit/wear this winter?? :-)

Oh Melanie you were gorgeous before the shave, and you're gorgeous after. You're one of those people whose beautiful spirit just shines through your face. And I feel quite teary looking at the family pic. You've been through such a horrid time over the last six months. But, just look at you - a family, a real family with such a bright future.
