Please help me give something back.

The ACT Eden Monaro Cancer Support Group have given my mum a great deal of support. The work they are doing is first rate. It isn't easy being in Perth while she battles cancer in NSW, and to have this support group helping her when I can't be there is a great relief.

To show my appreciation for this I am prepared to look like an idiot.

If you look at the photo, you can see that I'm looking rather hairy. When I reach my target, I'll shave it all off - that is beard and hair.

While I'm hoping to reach my target by 1 November, I'd like to reach this earlier if possible. This will give me time to grow some hair back before I visit mum again in December (she doesn't like shaved heads).

My mum adds:

Russell, I'm so proud of you and yes it is a very worthy cause as they are a fantastic organisation. It will be a great privilege to give back even a small proportion of the very necessary funding that they supply to people like me. They... support all types of cancer patients and for those who haven't been touched by this dreadful disease, although treatment is basically free in the Public Health System there are many additional expenses such as fuel, time off work and medications that have to be paid by the patient personally.

Please support Russell in his fundraising, every little help makes a big difference to people like me.

Good on you Russell. It takes a lot of courage to come into work with no hair, especially when you have a lot of it, unlike me. All the best.
