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!

My Creative Space

Ready for resin. Tea anyone?

And experimenting with a few ideas while I'm at it.

The countdown to bald has almost ended... the shave is happening on Saturday and I'm starting to get quite nervous. On the other hand, I have raised over $4400 so far, so it will be well worth it. Thank you so much to everyone that has sponsored me and to all the wonderful ladies in BrisStyle that helped with fundraising last weekend at the BIDM. As long as they aren't too scary, I'll be posting baldy photos soon.

The Shave, the Full Shave and Nothing but the Shave

It's done. It's decided. It's locked in. On March 12th I'm shaving off all my hair to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.

When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, a rather rare form of lymphoma, in November last year, it was a shock to say the very least. I had no idea what to expect, what my role of carer was to be and how on earth I was going to manage it all with a new baby. Right from the start the Leukaemia Foundation stepped in. They offered caring advice and support, explained the treatment in much more detail that his doctor had time to do and were instantly like a new friend at our sides, one that I knew I could turn to at anytime. They continue to be there for us and have brightened up some very dark days. Through his treatment we continue to meet more people that have been helped by the Foundation in many ways including access to financial support and with accommodation for the families patients and their families.

So this year, I'm showing my passion for this cause and helping raise money by shaving off all my hair (down to a number two blade).

And lastly, thank you to everyone for all their kind words and support when I was trying to decide if I was brave enough to do this. And remember, if you see a scary bald woman who looks like she just escaped from prison around Brisbane in a couple of months, don't worry, it might just be me.

Trying to Get the Courage

I'm trying to get the courage up to sign up to the World's Greatest Shave for the Leukaemia Foundation this year. The Foundation have been such a great source of support for my husband and I as well as more and more people that we're meeting through my husband's treatment. I'd love to give something back, something to help them continue their fantastic work.

The thing is though, and I'm being vain, I'm not sure I can pull the look off. These gorgeous women are well, gorgeous. None of them have double chins, bad skin or eyebrows in serious need of some attention. I'm just not sure if I'm brave enough.
