Thanks everyone, I've raises $ 1110 and counting...

Well due to a number of reasons the majority didn't want me going bald bald, I had the shaving cream and razors, but its a bit of a health risk, plus as you can see from some of the shots, I have a lot of bad pimples in my head.. I didn't mind either way.

Craig

Looking at the last shot, I guess that means you are a genetically modified organism now. :lol:

How does it feel? Bet you can feel the wind rushing past your scalp as you move your head.

My head is now really sensitive to temperature change. I had to go into the comms room (kepts around 15 degrees), gave me a similar feeling to a icecream headache. It's an odd sensation, but I don't mind the no hair thing. Katie hates it, but it's my head and hair ;-)

Congratulations on the effort, I guess I would have raised only half the money... I have been feeling the elements on my skull for over 30 years!

It takes a brave soul to lose a fine head of hair such as you had. :)

However, you now look like a fine candidate for the United States Marine Corp, hoooyahh!!!!!

Craig - well done :)
And fantastic fund raising as well !!!!!!!!
Told you it feels pretty weird huh? this is a shot of me when I shaved mine
Image
before the shot, it was past my shoulders and very curly ;), but it has pretty much grown back even longer than before I shaved it, but being 'bald' feels just amazing !!

Well done again - you should be proud 'numnut' :) ;)

alpha what charity is this for? It really great to have donations into a charity. Very grateful for people like you. :D

It might not be much money but it does keep experiments going. I am currently supported by Arthritis Aus, without it I wont be doing any but twiddle my thumbs. :wink:

Thanks Nito http://www.worldsgreatestshave.com/ for more info
The charity is the Leukaemia Foundation.

Mattb - I didnt mind the weird hairstyles, but my work might have a thing or two to say about it, some of them weren't even keen on the plain black hair dye (:roll:)

Rel - It does feel very cool, its also awesome that I can help out with so many donations I just can't believe how generous people were! Thanks!

Thought it was for the leukemia foundation, but isnt it in May? When I was in cancer research, they often sponsored the more innovative projects and new investigators. :D

Gov funding is harder to obtain and is much more conservative and less open to new people. Often it is who you know and not about your research. :cry:

The official date is May 4th-6th, I started earlier as I wanted some hair when I got to fiji, sunburnt scalp wouldn't be fun, and It also give me more time to collect donations.
