Hawke's Bay

Last December our family lost my niece's mom to cancer of the blood.

Last Monday, I also lost a school friend, Sonya to a form of cancer too. there's someone else close to me battling it but for personal reasons I won't disclose their name out of privacy.

I've been growing my hair since August 24th 2019 and my lovely wife has put up with it this long that now is the time for me to get it all cut off. So the cut off day is November 15th, 2020.
