Hi Bobby,

In Australia every March we have " Be Brave and Shave for Leukaemia " . I was

dx in July 2007 and in the March 2008 I raised $1,500 and had my mop shaved.

I actually found it quite liberating and it took about 3 months to get a

fair bit of growth back. I was going to do so again this year, but we have

had our property on the market (since Christmas) and have just sold and as

the buyers need to get out of their property by the 1st March we need to

also! I nearly took to it with the dog clippers the other day (no I hadn't

had any vodka LOL), it was such a mop (my kids call it the birds nest) as I

hadn't been able to get to my favourite hairdresser to get it cut.

So instead of raising funds this year, I am very busy packing up 21 years

worth of stuff, trying to be ruthless (very hard) and as we are on 40 acres

and have our Labradors as well, need to pack up all our kennels and contents

of numerous sheds as well!!! Fortunately my son and daughter in law had just

moved into a huge house on 10 acres in the bush, so we are shifting

everything there at the moment while we look around for another smaller

place to buy.

When I was interviewed by the local press about raising the money and going

bald, the reporter said how brave I was - I told her I wasn't being brave, I

had a choice which many other leukaemia patients of course don't have. I am

soooo appreciative of our meds.

Hi, did you guys read , in the LLS news letter about the fund raiser,

Totally Baldacious?

I signed up , I have not completed my website yet as I need a new picture.

I am not asking for your donations, I am asking you, if you didn't see it,

to go to the LLS website and read about it. You decide how much you think

you can raise, and if you raise it, YOU SHAVE YOUR HEAD!

My kids all laugh at me, I wear my hair so short it almost IS bald. I've

worn it this way over 20 years. My daughter sent me to her hair dresser to

get a new look. On the way there I dropped in at the bar she worked at, had

a couple of vodkas, and went for the hair cut. His name was Sam, and talked

me into a spiked doo. I think the vodka had a little to do with it.

Anyway, he commented on how well it looked so short, and I said, " I would go

bald if I could get away with it, I would just wear nice makeup and great

big earrings! " He kidded me about it for the next 5 years, and one day I

went in and said, " I should be more careful what I wish for, I have been dx

with leukemia, and I very well might end up bald, guess I better go get some

earrings! "

But I never did lose my hair. I have been in 6 trials, plus the Interferon

in the early days, and heve never lost one single hair. He, unfortunately

has passed away from cancer.

So, now I am going to shave it off, get new make up and buy some gorgeous

earrings,

whether or not I raise the money ( I am trying for $1,000.00, they want a

minimum of $250.00) I raised $2000.00 the first tea party I had, $6000.00

the second, and $10,000.00

the last one I had. So I am quite confident I will surpass my goal.

I am waiting for my grandson to take a new picture of me and post it on the

site, then I will direct you to it, and, ha ha, I will post one when I have

finished the fund raiser.

This is getting to be a long post, but speaking of fund raisers,I am going

to be in NYC in April for a Parkinson's fund raiser, it is a marathon, or

some kind of walk in Central Park.

My son in law Mickey has Parkinson's, and he and I will participate in wheel

chairs!!!

That's all folks! who's got the guts to go bald? check it out, Bobby

That's a gret idea!

Wow! 21 years of sorting out and throwing out!  I just did that to my bedroom

and it took me 2 days! Good luck in finding a smaller place and congrats on

selling yours.  It's tough here to do either.  Bobby

Bobby,

Last time I shaved my head was over 35 years ago - it was all University Day at

Penn State and I think I drank too much really cheap wine- Mad Dog 2020. It was

my freshman year in college and yep I went for the really big earrings to

accessorize my look.  I'm not sure how my bosses around here or my staff will

take it but I'm liking the idea of being Totally Baldacious for a cause.   I

didn't have eyebrows for a year after being diagnosed and starting gleevec( the

anemia has thinned the hair on my head too) so what the heck.  

If Booby can do it- I can do it.

China, I am laughing myself to death.  I read your email twice before I saw how

you ended it, and if was a typo, it's funny, and if you meant it, it's

funnier.  My kids are calling me Booby for shaving my hair.

Are you serious about shaving your head?  And are you going to go to the LLS

site and sign up as a fund raiser, or would you like to join my team.  " My

team " being me at the present, because I can't figure out how to add a team

member. My team name is Bald is Beautiful.   It is too late to call my contact,

who never answered last night when I called.  I am not real computer savvy, so

have to have my grandson here to help me.   Keep me posted if you are

interested, for some reason they said this only runs through Feb., they don;t

give us much time.  Bobby,(or is that Booby??)  LOL I am still laughing.....

Penn State and I think I drank too much really cheap wine- Mad Dog 2020. It was

my freshman year in college and yep I went for the really big earrings to

accessorize my look.  I'm not sure how my bosses around here or my staff will

take it but I'm liking the idea of being Totally Baldacious for a cause.   I

didn't have eyebrows for a year after being diagnosed and starting gleevec( the

anemia has thinned the hair on my head too) so what the heck.  

If Booby can do it- I can do it.

Hi, did you guys read , in the LLS news letter about the fund raiser, Totally

Baldacious?

I signed up , I have not completed my website yet as I need a new picture.

I am not asking for your donations, I am asking you, if you didn't see it, to go

to the LLS website and read about it.  You decide how much you think you can

raise, and if you raise it, YOU SHAVE YOUR HEAD!

My kids all laugh at me, I wear my hair so short it almost IS bald.  I've worn

it this way over 20 years.  My daughter sent me to her hair dresser to get a

new look.  On the way there I dropped in at the bar she worked at, had a couple

of vodkas, and went for the hair cut.  His name was Sam, and talked me into a

spiked doo. I think the vodka had a little to do with it.

Anyway, he commented on how well it looked so short, and I said, " I would go

bald if I could get away with it, I  would just wear nice makeup and great big

earrings! "   He kidded me about it for the next 5 years, and one day I went in

and said, " I should be more careful what I wish for, I have been dx with

leukemia, and I very well might end up bald, guess I better go get some

earrings! "

But I never did lose my hair.  I have been in 6 trials, plus the Interferon in

the early days, and heve never lost one single hair. He, unfortunately has

passed away from cancer.

So, now I am going to shave it off, get new make up and buy some gorgeous

earrings,

whether or not I raise the money  ( I am trying for $1,000.00, they want a

minimum of $250.00)  I raised $2000.00  the first tea party I had, $6000.00

the second, and $10,000.00

the last one I had.  So I am quite confident I will surpass my goal.

I am waiting for my grandson to take a new picture of me and post it on the

site, then I will direct you to it, and, ha ha, I will post one when I have

finished the fund raiser.

This is getting to be a long post, but speaking of fund raisers,I am going to be

in NYC in April for a Parkinson's fund raiser, it is a marathon, or some kind of

walk in Central Park.

My son in law Mickey has Parkinson's, and he and I will participate in wheel

chairs!!!

That's all folks!  who's got the guts to go bald?  check it out, Bobby
