I'm shaving my head to raise money for cancer!

I'm shaving my head to raise money for cancer!

In true "are you sisters?" fashion, I'm going to shave my head so Portia and I look even more alike! 

Okay, jokes aside, I can't fathom how scary it must be to face a battle with cancer so young, and I want to be able to support Portia in any way I can. So I'm shaving my head so I can not only show my support to one of my best friends, but also so I can raise some money to donate to the Cancer Council - to try and help other people's battles with this terrible illness be at least a tiny bit better.  My hair will also be donated to Variety to be made into wigs for children battling cancer. Our rowing club has been touched with the death of one of our members at almost the same time as Portia was diagnosed, so this shave is also in remembrance of her. 

So please donate! It would mean the absolute world to me if you could donate even the smallest amount, because any amount makes a difference. 

Thank you!

PS if you would like to come along and watch, the shave will be done on Saturday 9th March after training at New Norfolk Rowing Club - so around 12:00pm. Donations will also be accepted on the day. Some other club members have also raised the idea of shaving their chest hair... so maybe come along for that too?
