giving

About 3 or 4 days ago Mich asked if I wanted to fundraise for the Leukaemia Foundation in the WORLD'S GREATEST SHAVE TO CARE & CURE by colouring our hair. I'm thinking why not, I'll go shocking pink or a techno multi-coloured hair-do! It'd be awesome to do something for another who's less fortunate.
So Mich signed us up as a group (SarahJ, Gwen, herself & myself), & we got the official receipt books, posters & loads of other material on Thursday. That leaves Friday to fundraise & get sponsors for the cause!

Oh well see how much I can get from work . . . I never thought of how much or wat my target will be. Oh well, just ask my collegues & sees how much I can get rite! Ya!! So I told my collegues who I have lunch with & of course work with, about the cause & my plan to colour my hair. They were extremely excited about the whole idea but told me that I should really shave it. Humm . . . ya rite my parents will just die!

So I left it as that but I got thinking may be if I set a target for them to give me 3hundred dollars I'll shave it all off. Fine decided . . . 300 dollars by the end of the day & I'll shave, if not it's just a colour or two *grinz*

As the day when on one of my collegue really got into it, got my receipt book from me & started advertising the cause on my behalf. In like less than an hour, the whole facility knew about me shaving my head for 300 bucks! So the pressure was on . . .

She even got me in front of the residents during a concert to tell them & the family members there about this crazy deal I've made with them. After I got off the stage, people started digging deep into their pockets, purse, wallets for cash to donate for the cause. You realise that Aussies would give so much more to a causethan anything else!

But the end of the day, the count was on . . . a total of 340 dollars in a day, inclusive of pledges! Wow! I never knew how vain I was till I realized I was going to have to shave it all off. Hahahaha!! My hair!!

Now that I have come to terms of wat the future holds, I had to tell my parents & my bro. I sort of knew wat their reaction would be. My brother laughing, amused & not so keen, mum was heartbroken that her daughter would be without hair but my dad was tearing & wanted to give me money to back out & to return the money to the people who donated plus interest.

Well I tried to console my parents, by telling them that I will have hair but the time see me again. And that I will be good till another fun, adventurous & thrilling idea pops into the imagination!

Keep posted everyone . . . will have a before & after pic of me up soon!
