Head shave for Hospice care

$22,931 of $40,000 goal
Given by 92 generous donors in around 6 months

We are shaving our heads to raise money for Hospice Care for breast cancer patients and anyone with a terminal illness. Join us!

Auckland

For those that don't know this, Stu's Aunty Beverley died of breast cancer earlier this year.

The palliative care that terminal cancer patients receive at the end of their lives is so important and the wonderful work that Hospice staff do to preserve comfort and dignity in the short time left before death needs to be supported and celebrated. So we are taking the plunge to show our support by shaving our heads to raise money! This may be no big deal to Stu, who has done it before for cancer support, but I admit it is pretty terrifying to a woman like me, who has always had a thick head of long blonde hair! It's taken me a while to get up the courage to commit to this, but I'm finally going to do it and want to raise as much money and awareness for this worthy cause as possible. When you think about what cancer patients go through in comparison, it puts it all in perspective. I'm even going to go a step further and reach out to you all to see if you want to join in the fun with a head shave as well as a donation! Who dares to join me? Get your mates to donate and share a photo of your shaved head on social media with this link :0)
