Shaving for Cancer

A request to support
On my birthday (in November) I will be shaving my head to raise awareness for cancer!
My Mum has volunteered to do the shaving for me, although she thinks I might be a little out of my mind.
I've signed up at Give a Little for any who would like to donate to my hair shaving extravaganza! (yes, all of it's coming off) and I'm already over 20% towards the fundraising target (which is really exciting!)
If you can't donate then I'd love for you to show support by helping me get word out by sharing this around on your FB
The more who know about this fundraiser the better.
My target is $1,000, but anything you can give (or in any way support) would be really appreciated and it is just as helpful that people care and that they send it out into their own personal networks to raise awareness.

For those who have no idea what I look like (cause that's helpful too... - a photo of me). I've always had long hair in varying degrees of long. This isn't even the longest it's been but I can't find the other one >.> But I'll keep posting them when I find them too.
I'll also be putting a scarf I had knitted up for auction next month as time draws close.
For those who are international, you can still donate if you would like (and not sure if you can) although the transaction will show up as converted currency on your credit card statement.
Current conversion rates (for those interested)
- $5 NZD (New Zealand Dollar)
- $4.54 AUD (Australian Dollar)
- $4.07 USD (US Dollar)
- 2.48 GPD (British Pound Sterling)
- 3.16 Euro
- 20.32 Tajikistani Somoni

This is pretty awesome. :) Have you considered donating your hair as well? Pantene does the "Beautiful Lengths" campaign and then there's also Locks of Love over here but not sure if they're international.

Date is set for head shave!
29th November 2014. Which is only a couple weeks away. Sadly, I've been a bit slack about promoting this since exams and end of year assignments are a thing I hadn't planned for. But that's okay... Good thing we're going into summer, cause I have it under good authority that my head is going to be very very cold!
:) :)

:) It's my pleasure (and my terror >.>) Tonight's the night. My hair is now on its last legs and I've spent the last hour playing with it. Just, cause I think I'm going to miss it.
T-Minus 1.5 hours and counting.
