Yesterday was the BIG EVENT! Angie and Chris both had their heads shaved for cancer research. There's a picture gallery here of the event and also a link to the left. It was quite a spectacle with quite a few people jamming into Tegan's small salon to give their support. Chris had decided to support Angie by shaving his head which is not a really big deal for him as he has done it before, but for Angie it was quite an undertaking as she had never had short hair most of her life, let alone being bald. Nonetheless, at 6:00pm sharp the clippers started whirring and in no time at all both kid's curly locks were gone. Chris' were all over the floor but Angie's head of hair was kept intact and was whisked away by a rep of the Alberta Cancer Foundation to be made into wigs for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. So far Angie has raised about $2500 for the cause and donations are still being accepted until the end of April online at www.albertacancer.ca/foundation/donations_online.htm.
I shot some video of the event and am in the process of editing it so it will be posted within the next couple of days.
Happy Easter to one and all.
