Have you got a spare $10?

I reckon you probably do. If you bought your lunch today instead of packing something and bringing it in from home, you have a spare $10*.

A friend of mine, and fellow cyclist, is raising money for leukaemia. Those of you in Australia have probably heard of the World's Greatest Shave. See here for more details. Sarah, who currently has a rather nice head of hair, will be shaving it all off in memory of her friend Lisa who lost her battle with leukaemia.

Here is Sarah's blurb about this important cause:

Please sponsor me! I am taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave 2010 because I hope that my involvement will help people who are suffering leukaemia at this moment and give them and their families the support they may need to help pull them through their long and tough treatment. A friend and I had a goal to raise $10,000 for the foundation this March, however she recently lost her battle with the disease. She had many goals. This one, I believe I can achieve in her memory. The funds we raise will help the Leukaemia Foundation to provide practical care and support to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. I think it is really important that we understand how significantly the families can be impacted by tragedy and that ultimately cancer heavily effects all involved. Therefore, we must do all we can to help find a cure and in the mean time, support those fighting.

Still not convinced... swing by the Facebook group: In memory of Lisa
