shave my head for cancer

I’m not sure when I will get this done but this has been on my mind since I’ve lost a friend to cancer and my aunt had cancer as well. I want to do this before I finish my university though.

I did it the 10th of june, and my hair is slowly but surely growing back…I didnt think it was such a big deal because it was a choice to shave my hair, whereas cancer patients didnt have that choice. So i was very proud to be contributing to the cause, its totally worth doing it..Plus people have been telling me i look better bald! (name drop: Natalie portman!)

I did it about a year ago it was one of the hardest and best things i felt i have ever done. I was so attatched to my hair but when i found out that my school was having a head shave for cancer i new it was somthing i had to do.

I’ll be shaving my head for cancer on April 2, 2007 on the University of Saskatchewan campus!! If you’re in the aread, come show ur support!

my hair is currently really bad so i am thinking of doing this. i have always wanted to do it, just now i might do it sooner. my motives may be a little off, but i still think it is a really great thing to do for someon else.

Sometimes I think about it and my heart starts racing but for the most part I am looking forward to it. The big day is fast approaching (July 20th) so I am enjoying my last 7 days with long locks. It will be a shock both for me and for people checking out my naked melon for the first time! :)

There was an event planned for the 3 of us that are shaving our heads for the local charity on September 22nd but since that is getting into autumny cold weather by that time we decided to move the date ahead to July. Much sooner, much scarier… $2490 dollars to go for my new $2500 goal. Since Sept. was so far away I was wary to ask people for donations but July is fast approaching I should get right on it!

On September 22nd I will be having my head shaved along with 2 other women in my area in hopes of raising awareness and money for a local charity that helps cancer paitents and their families.
Another goal that goes along with this one is donating my hair to locks of love and raising $2000 for the charity in the months leading up to the night I am shorn.

everyone looks their most beautiful.

I did this and have no regrets. In fact it was one of my life’s greatest moments! I raised $1400.00 but not only that but I was able to talk to a lot of people about this very serious disease.
Shaving my head was also very liberating. I felt like I could take on the world.
