Going Bald... for good cause
Come this Sunday, I'll be joining 600 other volunteers including almost 100 ladies, to have our heads shaved.
Hair for hope is an event organised by the Children Cancer Foundation to raise awareness to the needs of children with cancer and their families and show support to them.
We are raising funds through monetary pledges, to aid in improving the quality of lives of the children and families.
About 120 new cases of Childhood Cancer are diagnosed yearly.
Cancer is a debilitating disease that affects the child and family physically, emotionally and mentally.
Why shave heads?
Treatment of cancer, including chemotherapy, causes hair loss in patients, thus representing his/her fight against cancer. Every shaven head represents an understanding by an individual of the ordeals that a child with cancer is subjected to.
Please make a Pledge and donate generously... make a difference in their lives.
You can find me here, all your donations will be directed directly to the Children Cancer Foundation for the benefits of the children.
I represent the children to say a big "Thank You"...
