HAIR for HOPE (HfH) 2006 – 23 & 30 July
HfH is an event, which invites the public to shave their heads to show their support for children with cancer and to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF).
Why Shave Heads?
Cancer treatment including chemotherapy causes hair loss, thus representing the child’s fight against cancer. Through this symbolic gesture of shaving our heads, we hope to lend moral support to every child with cancer and to let them know that there is nothing wrong being bald.
If the act of shaving heads can also help raise funds for CCF, that means HfH would be able to bring a two-fold contribution to these children and their families.
REGISTER NOW! Give your Hair, Give a Little Hope , Give these Children your Support. Rally your family and friends to come and support you too. Your head will shaven by professional hairstylists.
