EVENT: Shave Sonia's hair for cancer
EVENT DATE: 31/07/2010

UPDATE: The deed is done! Successfully clippered to a number 1 today and my hair will go to a wig maker in Dunedin

Thank you again to everyone who donated. If you haven't managed to donate yet, it's not too late - just click on the "Make a Donation" button.

--------------------------------

UPDATE: Thank you everyone who has donated so far and helped me reach my target. If you haven't donated yet, it's not too late!

This means that I will be having my head
shaved (to a number 1 or 2) next Thursday 15 July. I will post
photos afterwards...

--------------------------------

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In 1993 I was diagnosed with melanoma. Luckily, a fantastic doctor caught it early. I am raising funds for the Melanoma Foundation of NZ to help other people to avoid and deal with melanoma.

I really need your help to make a difference to my charity. As an incentive for you to donate, I am prepared to:

- cut my hair to shoulder length if you (collectively) donate $1000

- cut my hair 'short' if you (collectively) donate $2000

- shave my head if you (collectively) donate $3000

You have until Friday 9 July 2010 to make donations towards my target. I will cut/shave my hair the next week and promise to post photos! If there is enough interest from work colleagues, I may even have the cut (razor!) at work.

Please could you sponsor me?

Select the 'Make a donation' button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support

Sonia

PS I am also aiming to donate my hair to a company that will donate money to charity in exchange for it
