How much would you donate for childhood cancer research to see me shave my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer?

I’ve wanted to get involved with the awesome St. Baldrick’s charity for a couple of years now without quite managing to make it happen. This year, given that many of my good friends now have children of their own or are just about to, the opportunity to raise money to help fund research into childhood cancer was too much to pass up on.

On February 27th I’ll be going under the clippers with another three hundred or so(!) fellow fundraisers at The Hibernian on Glenwood here in Raleigh, shaving my head in solidarity with kids who lose theirs due to their treatments.

I originally set a modest fundraising goal just to see if I could reach it. I was quite surprised when I actually did, but even more so that it only took around 12 hours. I raised my goal and hit it again, then again, so now I’m not bothering to raise my goal, I’m just hoping to raise as much as I can.

If you’d like to donate to the cause you can do it through my profile page on the site.

Hopefully there’ll be lots of pictures taken during the event but I’ll make sure anyone who donates has plenty of opportunity to take the piss out of me and my newly shaved noggin. A Ross, Shaun or Michael Stipe I most definitely am not – I look ridiculous with a bald head. You’ll totally get your money’s worth, haha.

For posterity’s sake, here’s what I’m getting rid of:

Man, the title of this post is likely to send all sorts of weird traffic my way, eh?
