Going Bald for the Cause

I made a decision today - to do the World's Greatest Shave. I will be shaving my head in a months time and in the process hope to raise around $1000 for this cause. I did this for the very first time about four years ago and loved every minute of it.
I raised $1000 together with a friend - she also raised $1000.
It was very scary to have my hair saved - the first time I was almost bald.
But, it was totally refreshing not to have to think about what I would do with my hair for months afterwards.
I now have a friend who has been through breast cancer so  I have seen her personal struggle.We all have a friend or family member who has been through it.
I am shaving my head because I CHOOSE to not because I HAVE to.

In that I find great joy and for that reason, because I have a choice ...I do choose to step outside of my comfort zone and do it. Its my way of doing just a little so that my life is not just a "shallow self serving affair".
