1 more sleep...

Well, this is the last full day with my hair. Hmmm...considering I was running late this morning I don't know if it will be a bad thing. No more hair dryers or curling irons (yes, believe it or not this "do" is from a curling iron. by 9:10am you can't tell any more. :) But the effort is there.



Jennifer and I went to the Burlington Post about a week ago to have our pictures taken to promo the event. It hasn't run yet so it may not but I thought you might be interested in laughing at our picture. We are supposed to be worried about losing our hair and tying in the 2 day 60K walk we are participating in - but I think we just found the whole experience funny. Hence the laughter. Now you can laugh at us or with us but laugh!!

Tomorrow night the head shaving will be held at the Burlington Running Room.

Here are the details:

The 2 Boobs go Bald!!!

Date: Wednesday January 10th, 2007
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: The Running Room
Unit 6C, Cumberland Square
3300 Fairview Street

Stephanie Cox, the manager of the Burlington Running Room and her staff have been wonderful and so helpful for this event. It is run club night so there will be a lot of runners there. We will hopefully have our head cut/shaved and finished by 7:30. Those runners WANT to run. For that night I am passing on the running and I am going drinking. We will be heading over to Jack Astors afterwards for some adult beverages and fun.

Joanne Shields, of Jo's Runners, will be the Emcee for the event. Joanne is an amazing woman and she has an incredible story herself. She is truly an inspiration to many.

Linda and Janine will be there to braid our hair and get us ready for the scissors!

Melissa, from the Weekend to End Breast Cancer will be on hand as well. She will be bringing a promotional video of the 2007 Walk. We can watch it once the runners head out for their run. Jennifer and I had the privilege of seeing this at our orientation and it is a phenomenal and emotional video.

I think we are all ready to go and if people have their donations and can bring a friend who might want to donate too - this event will be very successful. That is our purpose - to raise LOTS of money for the Princess Margaret Hospital.

I am very lucky to have the support I do. Everyone has been wonderful. I have been asked if I am nervous by many. I am not really nervous about having my head shaved...I am more nervous with people's reactions. But if people stop me to ask they will have to hear about the Weekend to End Breast Cancer and my fundraising efforts. It will bring awareness and the much needed funds for research.

I am proud to have the choice to do this and be a part of this amazing event with a wonderful friend - Jennifer.

Thank you all for your support and I hope to see you tomorrow night...bring your checkbooks, cash or credit cards!!!!
