Story

Did you know? Every day in Ireland 150 people are being told they have cancer.

Progress is being made though - more people are surviving cancer today than ever before, thanks to the support of people like you. By taking part in Shave or Dye you are helping to fund life-saving cancer research and provide services and support to patients and their loved ones in every community in Ireland. Thank you.

How it works:

1) Decide what to do - shave your head, dye your hair, or go to school or work with the ultimate bad hair day!

2) Set a fundraising target

3) Collect pledges

4) Once you reach your fundraising target, make it happen!

Shave your head, dye your hair, have your bad hair day, and take pictures and videos and share them on social media, tagging the Irish Cancer Society and using the hashtag #ShaveOrDye.
