Public Shave Events are being held across Australia, from Brisbane Queensland - I went out and took pictures of the Queensland Fire & Rescue Firefighters at Newfarm Park Brisbane!
Today I saw a firefighter get his head shaved,although not completely, and coloured,while his wife stood and watched. No big deal really,it's happening everywhere this weekend - BUT THIS IS A BIG DEAL - Senior Firefighter Lindsay... of Kemp Place is apart of the Shave to Care & Cure for a personal reason, his wife Heather is in remission from Cancer!
I would personally like to extend my best wishes to them for the future, and thank for them allowing me to take pictures! Thanks to Senior Firefighter Mark... from Kemp Place for letting me take the pictures of his bald head!
I'd also like to add that later in the day I will be out taking more pictures and adding to the site of another person I'm proud of for her efforts over this weekend,and helping the Shave to Care & Cure - my daughter Cass who is a 1st year Hairdressing Apprentice at Manly. Shes been out there shaving the heads of those who donate them to the cause!
Well done to all who attend the Shave to Care & Cure Leukaemia Foundation event.
Some history of this event:-

Money raised will care for patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
