Hair yesterday, gone today

The shave has gone off. Nathan had a #1 and I had a #0. Pictures shortly, but here's a tease (click the image for a larger version).

Please don't let the fact that the shave has happened deter you from making donations to this very worthy cause.

Oh the humanity! The scary thing is, if I was still at Sun my head would be in that photo with a shinier noggin.

Good lord! Way to go bro, you get my sponsorship!

Now you look like me (some of us don't have to get a #0 headshave to have no hair ;)

Cheers 'n Beers,
Peter

Thanks for supporting the Leukaemia Foundation "World's Greatest Shave," Alan. Hornsby Westfield had their head shaving and hair colouring yesterday, with me shaving and colouring people's heads. I was amazed at how many people would approach me asking for all their hair to just be shaved off - even women with particularly long hair. Some children even dived right in and had their heads shaved. It was a great day and full of much support. Regardless of where you had your head shaved, I am certain your efforts will not go unrecognised! Good on you and your fellow Sun employees for getting in there and showing your support and doing whatever you can. Now you have a year to grow it all back and do it all again, right? ;)

Alan I'm sure you know how disturbing that photo is for the rest of us! Good work though - you have more courage than I. Renai

Good for you for shaving your head for a worthy cause. I know for charity I would go the leg hair removal by shaving route but whoa not my hair .. well maybe someday I will. Thanks for the photo as well for this good cause. Cheers.

This is so great! My father has AML (adult form of Leukemia) and it is great to see people rally around the cause. Thank you Alan!
