Default I\'m shaving my head....UPDATE

First off, what an awesome experience. There were quite a few generous people who not only donated online, but sent checks in anonimously or donated cash to this wonderful cause. There were a few parents with children that are living with cancer. The parents let the kids, some of them only 4 or 5 years old, cut there hair. The smiles on these kids faces while they were cutting there dad or moms hair will leave a lasting impression with me.

On with the pics. Here is what I used to look like:





I know, I know...what the heck was I thinking :whazzup: Look at all that hair !! :grin:

Here's what I look like now:



That's my compadre Edgar on the left and me on the right. I have a "striking" resemblence to a bowling pin

And now for a group photo:



That's Ivy there in the center. She's a mean thumb-wrestler and had a permanent smile on today. :grin:

A very sincere thank you to everyone who supported this with you wallets and checkbooks. Your help is appreciated deeply. Jennie, thanks for letting me share this experience with the ifish family.

On a more personal note...The opportunity to get involved with this had perfect timing. I encountered some problems at work which essentially meant I wasn't going to get the promotion I've been waiting for, for years now. I was feeling very sorry for myself, and then I heard about another person who has the kind of courage and strength you hear about, but don't often witness firsthand. This was a learning experience for me and me shaving my hair off in no way compares to what I was given in return. Thanks Ivy....

Bravo!!! You're unselfishness shoud be commended.

On a lighter note, I'd use no less than a 45 factor sunblock until the hair grows back! A burnt cranium is nothing to scoff at.

sorry about the job promotion, but to see you take the negative and focus it on something a little bigger, for that, you deserve and i'm sure have or will receive more. (look familiar?)
