This year, the Children's Cancer Foundation will be hosting the Hair For Hope program (HFH) on 1st July, Sunday at 12 p.m. in Velocity@Novena Square. The online registration had closed so I have to walk-in on that day itself to get my hair shaved.
HFH was incepted in 2003 by 9 volunteers who decided to shave their heads as a symbolic gesture to help create awareness for children's cancer in Singapore. Every year after that, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of shavees which has shown their support to the kids.
A total of 164 ladies have sacrificed their crowning glories. In 2004, there were 12 ladies. The following year, there were 22 ladies. Just last year alone, there were 130 ladies who went skin-head. It's really touching to see that more women are coming out and going bald for the cause of charity.
This year, I will be one of them and I'm already proud of it.
