A Favour for a Friend – Shaving!

Not strictly on the topic of the blog, but I think this is worth it. Leif, a good friend of mine and fellow photographer, who has had very long hair for a very long time, has decided to participate in the “World’s Greatest Shave”. This is to raise funds for the very worthy Leukaemia Foundation. I want to support Leif and the foundation, so I am helping by getting the word out to those I think may be interested. If you’re not, then please ignore this post. Otherwise, have a read of what Leif has to say below. Oh and there’ll be before and after photos on the blog after the shave if you’re curious ;)

Leif says:

After 9 or 10 years of having *very* long hair ( I’m 6’2″ and my hair is over 3/4 down my back! ), I’ve finally decided to give it the chop and participate in the 2008 World’s greatest shave. For those who don’t know, the World’s Greatest Shave is an event that people shave their heads in order to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. More information about the foundation can be found at http://www.worldsgreatestshave.com.

My current goal is to raise $1500. If I raise that amount, I will go the whole hog and shave my entire head. Failing that, I will get as close as I can get and cut enough off to donate for a wigmaker.

Donations above $2 are tax deductable and I’ll be starting to bring in receipt books for those who intend on donating.

Those who wish to donate online can visit my World’s Greatest Shave profile page at: http://www.worldsgreatestshave.com/profile.php?id=387720

So, dig deep people! Its not very often so much hair disappears in one go!
