The Big Shave at Oamaru Farmers Market

$880 donated

I will be shaving my head to help raise funds for Look Good Feel Better, which helps those going through cancer treatment.

Oamaru, Otago

Cancer is a disease that affects almost everyone in life. We have all had someone close to us struggle with the side effects of treatment, so that’s why I have decided to fundraise some money for a worthy organisation.

On October 3rd, 2021 I will be shaving my head to raise funds for Look Good Feel Better, an organisation that helps those going through cancer treatments.

I will also be fundraising at the Oamaru Farmers Market each Sunday up until the big shave.

This organisation greatly helped my mum when she was going through her treatment a few years back. They hold programmes all over the country and offer practical advice and support to cancer sufferers when they need it the most.

About Look Good Feel Better:

“Look Good Feel Better programmes provide an opportunity for cancer patients to connect, feel more in control and look more like their normal selves with tips, techniques and the tools to face cancer with more confidence.

It is our mission that every person has the opportunity to attend one of our classes. Whatever stage of the cancer journey, cancer type, or treatment, the emotional impact of cancer affects everyone. Look Good Feel Better is that one day away from treatment and medical appointments where the focus is on the individual and supporting them to look and feel more like their normal selves, connect and take time for them.”
