    Have been out of the country and even then a few more donations have come through last minute. Thanks so much for the support from the mystery givers in June and July and we have a bit more money coming from Specsavers Lambton Quay. ALSO trademe auction of my hair is getting set up, so a few more dollars in the coffers from that as well. So stoked with the amount of support and the amount of money we managed to raise! Aroha nui

    The big shave is about a week and a half away. So today is dedicated to making sure the event on 31st May at Midland Park is well organised, well run and most importantly enticing for people to part with money and give to the cause! If you're in Wellington come down between 1130 - 1230 (cutting starting at 12). If you're not but know peple int Wellington, tell them about it and get them down there. We want a crowd!

    Thanks for the support everyone over the past few weeks - it's been a whirlwind getting promo going and I don't think it's going to stop until D-day - Lucky I'm an energiser bunny and all is cured with a good sleep! Thanks to Simon and Sarah and the mystery giver - sending you good vibes for your generous donations.

    Today I'm contacting hair salons across Wellington to see if they will do the honor of shaving my hair. I'm also trying to see if they will get clients to donate a bit at the end of their haircut...any one got a contact at one of the Wellington Salons? Wish me luck.

    Kicking off the fundraising today! I want to raise $5000 for the Fred Hollows Foundation. When we get there this head of hair is going to be gone! Help me reach this goal, and you get to see me bald as an eagle. It's my sacrifice for the cause. How much are you willing to give?

    We carry on the work of Professor Fred Hollows, a world-renowned Kiwi eye surgeon and humanitarian. Fred believed in giving a hand up, not a hand out, and we train local eye health workers to restore sight in their own communities
