Hair one moment, gone the next

On the 16th of February Sharon, Terence's sister will be shaving off all her hair for Shavathon. This is to raise funds for the Cancer Foundation in South Africa. This is something close to our heart. A couple of years ago, Terence, Sharon and Alistair's mom lost her battle to cancer. And of course now we are walking this journey with Bianca.

The thing with this horrible disease is that it catches you when you least expect it, when you have had no time to prepare, and I can honestly say that without the support of organisations such as the Child Cancer Foundation, and to many people Cansa (Cancer Foundation in South Africa), we would be truly lost and unable to cope. They are there for us to take care of our emotional needs and often helping out with practical arrangements such as travel, accommodation, our voice when we are unable to speak and sometimes even financially. These type of organisations don't get any funding whatsoever and rely on donations and sponsorship to achieve their goals.

If you would like to sponsor Sharon, please let me know and I can get the details to you.

This will all be gone by the 16th of Feb.
