mushrat Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 So, those who have seen me either here or on facebook or in the News know I have a shit load of hair. So, having just lost my last grandparent to cancer a week or so ago I have decided to participate in my local St. Baldricks event to raise money for children's cancer research. Losing a grandparent was hard enough, I couldn't emagine losing a child to cancer, or watching a child go through what my grandmother just did. So, even if you can only donate $5 it can add up. Please don't let me shave my head for cheap, please. http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/participantid/367192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 It'll be the 27th of Feb at a local Pub. I don't think they can use razors but i'm not sure. I've seen "after" pics. It looks like a smooth shave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 heh, you'd be pleased, it's at a place called the Hibernian. Gonna take a pint or two and a shot or 2 before I step up. I'm going to have my wife do the cutting, she's a professional stylist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_T Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Donating very shortly. I'd say I'm in to do this as well, but don't really have hair to begin with so it would not be as epic as yours Mush. Can't wait to see the pics. Sorry for your loss Mush, it's always very hard to lose a loved one. 3 of my 4 grandparents have lost their battles with cancer. My condolences go out to you and your family.

mushrat Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks for the condolences folks. Her health was so bad I think it was a blessing really. We had thought she was holding out to see all the grandkids and it appears we were right. 18 hours after my brother left from his visit she was gone. My grandmother was a Partier until she was really to sick to get out of bed so we gave her a send off she would have loved to attend. You can make your donation in memory of someone you have lost on the main form. Thanks Adrock for the announcement and the support. And thanks to everyone here who has or is planning on donating. Even a little can add up. Now that I reached my initial stated goal I'm going to see if I can beat the team captian, a DJ on the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks everyone! My parents called to get details, said if making a donation ot charity would get me to cut my hair they would have donated long ago. Then they put dibs in on one of the big curls, something about my baby book. *sigh* Either way, thanks for giving what you can, even if it's not much compared to what someone else may have given. The $5 donations are adding up nicely. Mind you the $20 are adding up even faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
