Shaving for a Chair

Buying a comfortable chair is a small contribution you can help me manifest that will ease some of the pain for our sufferers.

Gisborne

I'm turning 65 in July and want to celebrate my good health by helping others less fortunate. The medical day unit treats cancer patients and their chairs are in desparate need of replacing. I want to raise money to buy at least one chair so patients can receive their treatments in comfort. I will shave my head on my birthday with the highest bidder having the priviledge to do so. Can you help spare a few $ for our local people to have some comfort through their gruelling cancer treatments!!

Sherryll Markie-Brookes' involvement (page creator)

I am blessed with good health. I know several people who receive cancer treatments and their comfort is compromised by the condition of the current chairs in the Medical Day Unit.

This is one small way I can show my support. By shaving my head it will give me some insight into what some sufferers go through and raise money to help buy a chair.

Use of funds

It cost $8000 to buy a chair that can be manipulated to fit all sized patients. Lets aim for at least one chair. If we hit that target...... the surplus will go towards another.
