Background - My hair is falling out. It's never coming back again. Sometimes it looks ok (when short), sometimes bad (when long). One day it'll be grey.
So the task is to shave it & see what happens.
Status: - Done
The "Shave My Head" / Charity idea came around during a bike training ride one Saturday morning in Feb '07. On my return to the house, I got straight on the case thinking that 'Comic Relief' is just round the corner, and this would be the chance to turn this task into reality, & make loads of cash for a good cause. So i uploaded a donation page on the Red Nose Day site, & emailed over 100 collegues & friends to ask for their support.
Hours later, & the donations started rolling in, one by one.
10/03/2007 A few weeks on & the magic £250.00 target is allready reached!!!. Oh My God.12:05PM 16/03/2007 The Big day has arrived & all is calm. It's red nose day & over £400.00 has so far been pledged; it's time for the head shave.
The clippers have been purchased, the crowd is waiting & the obligitory red nose is in situ. Location = A "Functional" workshop inside an industrial unit somewhere on an estate in Winchester, Winnall, UK. Barber(s) = Lisa (Secretary), Bob Thomas (Administrator).
The buzzing of the clippers begins. hair starts falling all around me. I'm feeling slightly stressed.
- A few minutes later. There is laughter. Lots of laughter. Cries of "Oh my God", "What have you done". Lisa is struggling to scalp me, & so hands over the clippers to veteran Bob "Razorhands" Thomas.
Cool as you like, Bob gets to work & calmly/cooly continues the hair excavation works. No going back now!
& there you have it. Head shaved. Want to watch the highlights? Click:-
