Child cancer fundraising event

We went along to support my friend yesterday. After a few weeks of fund raising, she and her partner braved the shears and had their heads shaved for the cause. I admire them as it is something I would struggle to do myself, but the occasion was inspiring and again, it is a reminder that for many people, there is no choice in getting this done.

In true veterinary form, my friend, a vet nurse, imported her very own dog groomer to do the deed....  and she did it fantastically!

 






Out of all the hair, some truly beautiful people emerged and many thousands of dollars were raised.


And just to remind us of the purpose of the entire exercise... one of the children undergoing treatment....

and I just hope it works!
