Proudly supporting Beat Bowel Cancer Aotearoa down the main drag of Beachlands!

The NZ Herald photographer came out and took some more photos of me with my hair shaved off. Here's the link to the article in today's paper:

Saturday, 6th Dec was a beautiful sunny day and all of Beachlands were out to see the Christmas Parade. We had a float in it for Beat Bowel Cancer Aotearoa and then were booked to have my head shaved at 3.30pm on stage.
Thanks to Jenny Carter and the organising committee who allowed us be part of this event.
I had 12 pigtails to cut off and my friends and family did that. Then Joe the barber from Beachlands Road shaved my head and gave me a design in the back. Very cool.
Thank you for all the wonderful support I've had over the past few weeks and to all the amazing donors who have been so generous. I'm blown away. Thank you. xx
