I have signed up for the McMillan "Brave the Shave"!

Sorry but I do not understand what numbers you can get away with.

I am assuming that you are going to have all of your hair shaved off?

Oh well done you!

Gosh phoenix that is so brave! I am in awe . I'll sponsor you - just tell me how. Are you going to set up a Just Giving page?

By 'numbers' do you mean, e.g., a Grade 1, 2 etc?

my GD raised nearly £1000 recently, she had her hair cut to half an inch all over, she’s 14 and she raised the money for her best friend who is very sick. We are very proud Grandparents.

Hope you raise lots too, well done.

Oh wow, that is an amazing thing to do!

Yes, a just giving page is a really good idea.
I would definitely sponsor you, Phoenix.

Oh, sheesh, my hair is quite short anyway! Charleygirl, there are grades of shaves for hair, number 1 being the shortest.

Once I get the full info pack (only decided and signed up tonight) I will update you all, but thanks for the support so far.

Blimey. Macmillan don't half come up with some challenges.

Well, phoenix at least you won’t be troubled by what colour to use next
A friend of mine did a similar thing for charity a few years ago, and her hair grew back quite differently, and wavy!

Will you go for the GI Jane look or wear a scarf or bandana?

I should imagine its rather liberating once its done.

I thought you meant down below, Brazilian or the like....sorry phoenix. Well done by the way.... goes off to hide head in shame

You are brave. I have lost mine to the dreaded chemo. and frighten myself every time I look in the mirror as I look just like uncle fester from the Addams family! I have a wig which is too hot to wear at the moment and in any case itches my head like mad, scarves keep unravelling or slipping off my head. I have a couple of bandana type things that I don’t really like but do stay on my head. I only cover my head when I leave the house, I hate being bald but if the treatment works it will be worth it. If it doesn’t...I will probably swear
Good luck to you.

Phoenix

I assume this is a shave of the hair on ya head, not the lady garden! The latter might be a bit of problem explaining to the people at work!

And I certainly wouldn't be requesting a pic as proof!

Joelsnan sending every good wish to you, you are the brave one!

Riverwalk When I do the shave, I plan for it to be in public, have already arranged to ask my lovely hairdresser if she will come out to my place of work to do it, and as I don't plan to sit in the lower bench room with my knickers off and legs apart in front of the assembled students and staff, YES it will be my head!

Honestly, you lot, what are you like!

We want the photos, phoenix.

Have you got a nice looking head, Phoenix?
Mine is like an old potato.

Photos there will be, merlot!

God knows if I have a "nice looking head" MissAdventure the rest of me isn't up to much and I'm past caring!

Speaking to my hairdresser tomorrow, and will be speaking to all at work on Thursday (who hopefully understand why I'm doing it it) and will then post updates on here!

I'm sure you'll rock the look. (Hark at me getting all trendy!)

I admire people's desire to contribute but I'm surprised this type of fund-raising is still going on. There has been bad publicity about it from some cancer patients.

Well I think it's supportive. Good luck phoenix.

big mouth ulcer feeling sorry for myself, your thread Phoenix has reminded me how lucky I am!
