Head Shave For Leukaemia Foundation February 22, 2010
In less than 3 weeks I will be bald! Shiny slap-worthy bald. I decided to shave my head completely naked to raise money for Worlds Greatest Shave (The Leukaemia Foundation) and I have been humbled by the fundraising experience. Lots of my friends, strangers and loads of young people have gotten on board and donated both small and significant amounts of money.
In order to raise money I created a facebook group which became viral. Friends invited their friends and before I knew it – I had 880 members. Word spread and soon I was getting donations from complete strangers who just wanted to get involved (many had friends or family with Leukaemia). Working at Northies on Sunday night has also helped, with regulars coming up and handing me cold hard cash. In 3 weeks I have raised $3000.
Northies has kindly allowed me to host an event on Thursday the 11th March – the night I will be doing the actual shave. I’m still seeking donations to reach my target of $5000 so please continue to spread the word or donate whatever spare change or notes you have. My sponsor page is here – donate with a credit or visa debit card.
Beach & Bay have given me full support (and donations) and will soon enough have a bald receptionist.
