As I stated in an earlier posting, I registered for HeadShave Canada’s fund raising head shave event in order to do my little part in contributing. What that meant that I had to have my hair chopped off! I know, I know, what a travesty; but it was for a worth cause and I have managed to raise $580 in my efforts.

It was so great to get the support of friends, family and co-workers in my efforts to raise money for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. I discovered just how many people have been affected by cancer and it was great to see how much support I while raising money.

I would like to thank everyone for their support and donations, it means a lot to me.

To the left is a before and after shot of me.

I know that over the past while cancer has affected a great number of us very closely. I have decided that I would really like to do all that I can to support cancer research because I understand that it is a very important cause. As such, I have decided to join HeadShave Canada and the Alberta Cancer Foundations efforts by getting my head shaved on March 26.

I would like to ask anyone and everyone to sponsor me in my efforts. I am pasting a link to the sponsorship page below, if you decide that you would like to sponsor me, there is a large button on the page that can be clicked to donate online.
