Hi all and welcome to my site. Before you lightly glance at my content before moving onto another BLOG I ask you to STOP and think how many people that you know that have been touched by any cancer in anyway. If you can think of even one person then please read on. I have had a glorious idea, if I don’t say so myself. I realise that there are never ending fundraising events and causes out there but for right now I am committing my energy to one and I plead you to do the same. My energy is going into raising money for cancer, more specifically leukaemia and blood related cancers and I need your help.

I realise that losing hair due to cancer treatments is only a tiny step towards understanding what it must be like to be fighting leukaemia or any cancer, however I am hoping that by participating in “The Greatest shave”- March 11-13th, 2010 and adding my own flare by blogging my emotions, encounters and experiences that I can share an understanding of this small part of many people’s lives and help readers to understand a small part of what people fighting cancer must experience.

The plan: I am prepared to shave my head bald and remain bald a day for every $100 that I am sponsored. I will acknowledge all sponsors on my BLOG site and advertise business sponsors on my head when business sponsorship is over $500- I will provide photos on my BLOG and regular journal entries. So $10 000 worth of sponsorship not only helps the cause tremendously but keeps me bald and blogging for 100 days- My ultimate aim is to raise enough sponsorship to continue this project for a whole year so as to experience 4 seasons, Christmas, birthdays and a cycle of annual events everyday being reminded how strong and amazing people are that are fighting this illness wither personally or with their loved ones.

So help me raise funds and make it to 365 days, follow the sponsor link and sponsor now!

Soon to be shaved, Shannon.
