I'm shaving my dreads off for charity

Hey all. I decided a while ago that i would shave my dreads off to help out a friend who is only 21 and has Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer. i want to try to raise as much money as i can to help her out and try to raise her spirits whilst she has to go through the most terrible ordeal anybody could go through. i would really appreciate any help by sponsoring me. any amount would be great, even if it's only a pound or two. i'm planning to shave my head in about 2 weeks time so please ask around and help me to raise as much money as i can.

This thread is useless without pics.

Im guessing you mean that you want pics of my dreads and not of cancer here?! i'm currently on my mobile so can't upload pics just now. im on the names and faces thread and i will try to get pics up as soon as i can.

Correct

I'll sponsor you. let me know the details, and yeah, post before and after hair pics.

I wish you were shaving your dreads off for reason's of public decency, but as long as the horrible things are going :-)

I suggest a quiff for your next hairstyle.

Get curtains. Will sponsor.

Kid n Play flat-top FTW - I'd pay good money for that

Just shave the top...

Happy to sponsor. Have you set up a JustGiving account? Did that for my skydives last year - really easy.

£10 if you youtube it.

2 Reasons;
1, a friend of mine died from Hodgkins Lymphoma some years ago.
2, youtube has humourous connotations in Scotland.

JustGiving account ftw.

I think its gotta be youtubed, a mate of mine and Phils has already jumped in the regents canal and swum a couple of widths whilst pissed/stoned to raise money!

Yes! Sorry, hoped that was clear.

BD, I'm in but please do as Daveypants says and set up a just giving page.

Before a charity ride two years ago, I was offered £1000 if I had my legs waxed. Easiest £1000 I've ever raised.

Nice one. most replies have actually pretty positive so far. i was expecting about 50/50. i'll set up a just giving account as soon as i can get to a proper computer. updates on their way. yeah, it'll be properly photographed before and after and hopefully filmed as well.

You shouldn't have to have a worthy cause to shave off your dreadlocks(if you're white?)

He shouldn't but he has. So go with it.

I would have kept them if it wasn't for a good cause. the whole point is that im sacrificing something (no matter how big or small) for a good cause.

when i cut my hair off, i gave to a cancer charity that made into a wig for someone with cancer.
i came home from work one day to find a massive bunch of flowers, some chocolates and a thankyou card that said, "dear miss howard, thankyou for your really kind gesture. i promise to takecare of it XXX".
