(My target isn't really nothing. I just haven't set a specific one; it's up to you!)

My aunt was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a few months ago. She had major surgery, which was rough but successful, and now is going through several courses of chemotherapy.

There isn't much I can do to help her, but I thought shaving my hair off would serve three purposes:

1) My aunt would have some company in being a skinhead;

2) I could donate the cut hair to a charity that makes free wigs for chemo patients;

3) I could guilt-trip everyone I knew into sponsoring me to do it.

So, with the help of a few friends (one of them appropriately dressed as Sweeney Todd), my haircut became the evening's entertainment at a Halloween party on Saturday 30th October. (This explains my fangs and deathly pallor in the photographs).

Thanks very much for whatever you feel able to contribute.
