Hair Today .... Bald Tomorrow!!!

Remember back HERE when I told you that I was going to shave my head for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand?  Well on April 1st the kids and I got up early and headed to Auckland to join up with 3 other Crazy Brave ladies to shave off our lovely locks!

The Before Pic .... Me, Danielle and Archer 

So after a glass of wine and lots of pep talking the clippers were pulled out and off came the hair!!

It was the weirdest feeling ever! Abbey was NOT impressed. She wouldn't talk to me for a while!! Riley thought it was hilarious and laughed at me .. a lot!

The After pic ... Archer, Danielle & Me

It still feels bizarre! I am continually rubbing my head and wind, rain, hats all feel really strange on my head! I haven't been brave enough to go out in public without a hat or beanie yet. I am thanking my lucky stars that it IS beanie weather!

But it was SO worth it! 

 Me, Archer, Danielle, Nina & Tracey

The combined total of money rasied by these 5 crazy brave ladies was a whoping $3161!!!! AMAZING! I am pretty proud of that effort! Totally worth having no hair for a while.

Shave For A Cure

Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things you will ever have to experience. You all know that I know first hand since I lost my beloved hubby coming up two years ago.  If there had of been anything anyone could have done to prevent Jason’s death I would have been the first to raise my hand to do it. Even though his death wasn’t in anyway related to an illness I still want to help others to be able to hold onto their loved ones for as long as possible

One of my best friends is going through the struggle of having her Dad battling with cancer and when she signed up to Shave for Cure and she asked me to I only had a small hesitation before I signed up too.

I’ve joined the Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand in their effort to get 10,000 people shaving in a mass expression of solidarity. That’s one shavee for each one of the estimated 10,000 New Zealanders living with a blood cancer or condition like leukaemia

Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand is the national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families living with blood cancers and related blood conditions, this support can last months or even years.

Life is short, hair grows back
