Shave for a cure 

On Friday the 15th of March, 2002, in what some might regard as a fit of madness, I shaved my head to help raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. Najwe Ibrahim (a work mate) did most of the work, but we ended up raising $2,150 in only three and a half hours.

Ponytail first. The chap holding it up is David, my then-boss ... He coughed up an extra $40 for the privilege of removing it.

Me with a bunch of my work mates. Najwe is the girl behind me doing rabbit ears on me. Rather childish, don't you think?
