Welcome to my Shave For a Cure Fundraising Message….
 
I've decided to do this crazy thing for an amazing cause and set myself a fundraising target to achieve of $800

Every year thousands of individuals, schools and businesses across the country whip out the clippers and shave their locks in a bid to help the 6 Kiwis a day diagnosed with a blood cancer or related condition..
 
Shave-tastic! LBC receives no government funding.
 
Please sponsor me and help me support this great cause.
 
It's simple, fast and totally secure.
