... we did it..

11 March 2008

....we had the best night possible....such a fabulous roll up.... I think we ended up having around 12 heads completely shaved....(including three girls).... 7 heads coloured.... 1 chest hair shaved... an amazing amount of on-lookers who came to show their support.... two newspaper photographers.... and many laughs...
I am thrilled with the amount of money raised...and cant wait to get the final tallies in...

I'm also still gobsmacked by the response.... for my team...and other Riverland teams.... to get behind this.... to help make me blend in... and to show their support for my Chemo and hair loss....is just amazing.... as our Manager said.... this rarely happens these days..... and it is something to be recognised....I am very lucky and proud to be a part of SAAS in the Riverland...and if any of you happen to read this..... THANKYOU.

So.....without further ado....here is my photos from tonight...I'm sure the guys/girls wont mind me showing some of theirs too....so Ill upload more tomorrow....

This is Ian and I pre-shave...leaving home....

My Team Leader wanted the very first sweep....
Mmmmm....everyone is saying it looks great....Im VERY skeptical at this stage..... Im longing to look in a mirror...lol
Concentrating....
Demi Moore they kept saying....Yeah right!!...in my dreams....lol
Nice look Paul in the background...
...and tada!! ...what do you reckon????
More pics tomorrow..... Im off to shampoo my scone....

  1. WOW Mardi you look STUNNING!!! Seriously, you have a beautiful head... And Demi Moore, eat your heart out, what about Sinead Oconner - you look better than both of them... I am thrilled for you that this was such an amazing event and your coworkers sound like amazing people too. Thanks for sharing this with us. xxxx Janelle

  2. Mardi, you look awesome. You will feel so empowered. I looked like a monk lol.

    I loved being bald. It was so easy lol, no waxing, shaving, plucking. There is always an upside.

    Sounds like you have a great bunch of co workers. Well done. Hugs Dawn

    Oh Mardi you look beautiful.

    I admit to being teary when I read your post and looked at the pics - more for the incredible support that your workmates and community have shown you than you having no hair. It just goes to show just how many people love and respect you :-)

    Having no hair in a heat wave like this must be an upside!
