Head shave for CanTeen!
Hello people- my daughter (14) is shaving all her beautiful blonde hair off 
to raise vital funds for CanTeen. She was inspired to do this partly by having a chum who has survived childhood cancer.
I think she's very brave, particularly as she knew she was moving to Britain quite early on and elected to do it anyway. Her target is to raise >$1000 and I think all up she has over $900 so far.
If you can spare a few dollars for this great cause, hop on over to her Give A Little Page where there's a 'donate' button that goes straight to CanTeen:

Re: Head shave for CanTeen!
Good one & what a lovely thing to do for others 
I've donated to CanTeen in the past & am more than happy to do so again, particularly for a long-standing NZ BE member & her thoughtful daughter.
Cheers

Sorted! :-)

You and your daughter are very welcome BB.
I do hope that more donations roll in and she meets the target. It is such a worthy cause.

So very sorry to read that Gazmfc. Life is more than unfair at times.
I hope each day is as good as it can be, with strength & love.
Take care

Re: Head shave for CanTeen!
She's raised a little over $2k!
She was a bit teary but very brave during the shave- will later post some pics I took of her hair from behind before and after- just on my way out and running a little late right now ....
Thanks to all the generous BE people- she was so thrilled to make such a decent amount and it made it all worthwhile
