I Need Your Help
Thursday, March 16, 2006, 6:19 AM
I am going to blatantly use my blog to help my Mom. This is her first attempt at setting up a charity type event and it's her first time EVER to shave her head. Yes, I said SHAVE her head.
You can go to her St. Baldricks sponsored webpage and read about the event. My husband does this every year too, but this is my Mom's first time.
It's for Children's Cancer Research. All tax deductible and easy and secure to do online. Please, please, please, go check it out. She's alittle discouraged because so few people have volunteered to be Shavee's and she is way far from her goal.
How many other 65 year old women do you know about, who will shave their head voluntarily? How many people do you know who are affected by childhood cancer? Why not help two groups of people at the same time. PLEASE!!!
I know you will make all us bloggers proud and maybe next year you will set up your own event in your own town. I promise, Bill and I will donate to your cause if you do! Really. Just let us know!
Here is my Mom, Joan Perkins-Smith
Before!
BTW, her hair is MUCH longer now and she will be donating it to Locks of Love.
One More Thing....
Can you help get the word out by putting a link either to my post today or my Mom's St. Baldricks webpage on your blog?
I apologize if I have committed a blogging "no-no" but it is for an exceptionally worthy cause.
Thank you for your understanding and your generosity. You are an awesome group of people!
I love you all!

I'm Pam.
I am delightfully married to Bill and we are DINKS with DOGS & CATS.
Met on a blind date in October of 1993 and married in August of 1994. We have four dogs and three cats and would have more if the city didn't require a kennel license! We are movie aficionados, a bit technogeeky, and love family. Who am I? I am a 46 year old woman who no longer blogs, intuitive on certain levels and I am also introspective. I am passionate about a few things, and hopefully you will visit regularly and find out what they are.

Very cool... I saw the Locks of Love folks on the Today Show a few weeks ago. They cut Anne Curry's hair.

Your mom is a living doll. Beautiful on the inside and the outside. What guts! I volunteered to shave my head when my sister went through chemo and was so relieved when she said I didn't have to make that sacrifice!
