I am a vain creature. I never fully understood the implications of losing your hair (particularly as a woman) until a number of years ago when a friend underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer. Aside from the fear and the rigours of chemotherapy, dealing with losing her hair was a very traumatic thing. Happily she has been in remission for a number of years now but I will not forget the way her self esteem was impacted along with her body.
There is a wonderful blogger named Kim. She blogs over at Frog Ponds Rock. She is a mother, a grandmother, a woman, a photographer, an artist, and a brave and caring person.
This year she has committed to shave her very long hair off to help raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.
I know one of my greatest fears as a mother is to have a desperately ill child. It is a terrible reality for many families.
Will you help Kim reach her $5000 fundraising goal? Every donation helps!
You can donate here. Once you have come and tell me so I can give you a huge pat on the back for your caring.
