All that is left to be said from my crazy initiative of “raise $20k in a week for Leukaemia Foundation” is thank you. I didn’t manage to raise $20k in a week, it’s true. But the team did raise a whopping $6,750 !! with some money still in the “promised but not yet banked” category I reckon all up we’ll hit the $7k mark. Which is not a bad result for a week’s effort – so thanks for all your support. Of course, everyone on the team has thanked their sponsors individually, as has the Leukaemia Foundation. But my appeals have been so public, it seems only right that my gratitude is public too. For privacy reasons, I can’t see the sponsors of other members of the team, but in our shave video, I have called out those who sponsored myself, Charis and Amanzi.

Over the week-end Amanzi and Charis joined the Virtual Shave team as well. They didn’t shave, as mentioned in the previous post, but coloured their hair instead. So it was only fair to join them to the Intro Video. The girls have both all but made their targets of $250 and currently I’m a mere $68 away from my target of $2,000. So thank you to everyone for your generous giving. If it’s slipped your mind, or you just haven’t got around to it yet, it’s not too late.

Well we had “The Big Shave” yesterday, and whilst I’m still collating all of the photos and editing the video(s) for everyone, I did throw this quick video together to introduce (most of) the team… As you can probably tell from the brief snippets, the whole event in the office canteen, was a lot of fun. So much so that we had 4 “ring ins” John Kaleski – who joined at the request of his team. They promised to raise over $500 for him Paul Murray – who just wondered in and signed up (awesome) – and then another two - Boris….. ????? I think these last two were influenced by “The Baldernator” and it all happened so quickly I didn’t get their details. So, people are still joining and sponsoring the team, and you can do so up until Sunday midnight, so don’t be shy. Thanks so much I do need to give a special shout out to a couple of organisations, and people: Leopard Systems – who sponsored $1000 for Rick’s hair (you can see from the video why) ...

Amanzi cooked tonight – a Pad Thai – which was scrumptious. This was followed by jelly made by Charis. You ask why I share such inanities on the blog? Well it was my last supper! My last meal prior to shaving my hair to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation in tomorrow’s World’s Greatest Shave!! I quizzed the family on their thoughts, and was surprised Two new recruits. Who’d have thought? If you don’t want to sponsor me, please do sponsor the girls. Technorati Tags: Rog42,VST,Virtual Shave Team,World's Greatest Shave,Leukaemia,Girls
