I want this to be a big thing. I want to start a shave for a cure team to represent the Australian online community.

A bit of background.

My fiance Naomi received a phone call mid way through last year from her foster mother. Her brother James, just 21 years old, had been diagnosed with Leukaemia and had to undergo emergency chemotherapy within days if he wanted any chance of living. It was a shock to the whole family. James was one of the healthiest young men you would meet. Healthy diet, played sports, didn’t smoke, didn’t binge drink.

Leukaemia is an indiscriminate assailant. Though a quick google can tell you all you need to know about how horrible and deadly it is.

I’ve started a team for this year’s Shave for a cure fundraiser and I intend on raising at least $500 for the cause. I desire, however, to build a team from the Australian blogosphere and raise $5000 for the cause.

So please, whether you’re colouring or shaving, head to the site and join in with the websinthe team. It’s a good cause.
