My Worlds Greatest Shave 2010 - Dedicated to you
Salutations everyone,
When I was diagnosed with my tumour I bargained with God and the powers that be that if I made it out 'alive' (the jury is still out on that one but so far so good) that I would do what I can to help.
There is a kinship I think that exists between cancer patients, regardless of age, type of cancer or location.
I had to have Chemotherapy to save my life and say goodbye to my unborn child at the same time prior to the Hysterectomy and tumour diagnosis. Through it all, we strive, we achieve, we carry on and sometimes we inspire.
You are my inspiration. Your stories of courage, your journey, your experiences, your heartbreaks.
So this one is for you such beautiful souls and kindred spirits.

Thank you for being such an inspiration.
Teach.

Geees Teach
You really have me thinking about this shave thing. Tossing up whether to do it or not. Do i get rid of two inches of fluff or keep it? lol Big decision!!
Re: My Worlds Greatest Shave 2010 - Dedicated to you
Teacher mum - you are the real inspiration - thank you for taking this on for all of us who do not have a say in our hair loss.
I hope you raise bucket loads of money and are seriously recognised for your great heart. And most importantly - take care of yourself. xxoo

Thanks Teach
I nearly offered via this site and then though nah sometimes its misinterpreted and then voila you posted a link in fb and i thought well why not?? Oh by the way if anyone wants to buy plants i have some for sale ... course the money goes to the cancer council.
Mind you the grasshoppers have been a bit nibbly of late, but some are looking great.
Julie
ps ... Since i have started growing the plants two other people have started growing some for me too. Now these arent people that i am extremely close to and yet they are still doing it. How good is that?
Re: My Worlds Greatest Shave 2010 - Dedicated to you
Although our school has our own "Shave for a Cure" team and you will be happy to know that there are Junior School (Prep-6) and Senior 7-12) students as well as teachers doing it (they have reserved me for next year as its hard to get teachers - so even it out he he!)
BUT I will have the bucket in the classroom and staffroom and students and staff can donate as they see fit
$1000 is the target, we are over 10%...I think we can do it 
I think we can 
Re: My Worlds Greatest Shave 2010 - Dedicated to you
Set a really high target and get the kids on board!
Do you have a Student Council? They are often really good at fund raising. At my previous school we had a similar challenge to the one already mentioned (2010 blog)and kids organised sausage sizzles etc.
If nothing else, it gives the kids some ownership and makes them really aware as well.
I was really interested in organising a team for Relay for life this year but I still don't know whether I have the emotional energy to take on anything more this year.
You are a champ - go for it!!

Re: My Worlds Greatest Shave 2010 - Dedicated to you
