Symonds to shed the Dreads!

Postby hearts on fire » Thu Jan 22, 2009 4:10 pm

Andrew Symonds returned to training this morning at the GABBA and announced his commitment to shed his trademark dreadlocks to support the Leukaemia Foundation and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

On Monday 16 February Symonds plans to shave his head live on the Today Show for the ‘World’s Greatest Shave’.

Symonds has accepted the challenge to have a lucky competition winner shave his hair, but only if he is able to raise $10,000 for these charities.

“Every person who donates through my profile page on http://www.worldsgreatestshave.com goes in the draw to shave my head,” said Symonds. “Any amount will make you eligible so donate now!”

“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.

The Leukaemia Foundation has generously offered to donate half of the funds raised through my profile page to The Royal Flying Doctors Service in recognition of my role as ambassador for this good cause.”

Every hour of every day, someone in Australia is diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma and every two hours, someone loses their life to these diseases.

Will you be brave and shave? For more information or to register to participate, go to http://www.worldsgreatestshave.com call 1800 500 088 today.

He's not doing it. It's a bald faced lie.
