It's time to shave the mane!

"Every day, 71 New Zealanders will hear the words “you have cancer.” If you or someone you care about has cancer, if you want to help provide support, or reduce your own risk of cancer we are here to help." - NZ Cancer Society.

I found my first grey hair so after five long years of growing the mane it is time to say goodbye.

This page is the difference between a Lisa Simpson style haircut and a Homer Simpson style haircut (minus Homer's two hairs on top). I thought if we got to raising a minimum of $1000 for the Cancer Society NZ I'd do a Homer, if not, it will be a Lisa! I'm a wee bit nervous about the idea of being bald so this is a motivator with a cause.

The mane will be going to Freedom Wigs in Dunedin. They also will give a donation to the cancer society upon receiving the hair. The hair they take cannot have any grey in it so it has to be cut now. Freedom wigs run a fantastic programme, as the hair they receive helps improve the life of New Zealanders with alopecia, cancer-related baldness and other hair loss.

As this needs to be done sooner rather than later, the deadline will be the 31/3
