A bit of begging!

[Davey]

Hi guys, My eldest Daughter (and co builder) and myself are having our heads shaved to raise money for a local children's hospice www.hopehouse.org.uk So I'm here to beg anyone who feels like donating to do so by going to this page:
http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?app_id=130914480256890&next=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.facebook.com%2Fjustgivingap p%2Fpage%2F698218027%3Azoe-newell-headshave%3F_fb_fromhash%3D54fa&display=page&locale=en_US&return_session=0&fbconnect=0&canvas=1&legacy_return=1&method=permissions.request

Quick, simple and relatively painless so please give generously, we are aiming for £1000.

Many thanks to anyone who helps, D.

[gingea1pom]

Cheers Ginge

[Davey]

Cheers, D.

[Davey]

Ok guys n gals, for those interested here's a couple of shots of my daughter and myself taken last night (I'm the one on the left:D ).

What I've decided Keith is if we can raise more than the target £1000 then I'll do the eye brows as well.:D

Much thanks for your support guys, D.

[Davey]

Duh, forgot to add the photos, here they are:

Sorry Rob, maybe I'm being thick but I don't get your comment:confused: .

Davey,

I am like a little kid, you might get another £10 when it is done, brave man well done.:D

Cheers Ginge

[Peter-C]

I've donated, you're both braver than me and I hope you reach your target.

Peter

[Davey]

Thanks guys, 25% of the way to the grand but I'm determined to beat that. We need more than £1000 for me to lose the eyebrows.

As for brave what is there to be brave about? Its only hair, it'll grow back soon enough. If anyone is brave its our Zoe, there's plenty of baldy men about but a young woman with a bald bonce kinda stands out from the crowd.

Cheers, D.

[Davey]

We still need more donations so if you've got a spare fiver (or more, or even less, every bit helps) then go here:
http://www.justgiving.com/zoe-newell-headshave
And give, it gives you a lovely warm feeling inside:D .

Cheers, D.

[Davey]

Many thanks to all who have donated but its not enough, we need more of your money guys:D . Hope house provides much needed support to families with terminally ill children, it is totally dependent on charitable donations. We are currently 50% of the way to the target £1000 but I don't just want to reach that target I want to smash it!

Please give anything you can, it all helps:D .

Donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/zoe-newell-headshave

Thanks guys;)

[Enoch]

Hi Davey, you must be well proud of your Zoe. Donation done :)

[Davey]

Very proud of her Dave, many thanks for a very generous donation;) . If we beat the grand I'm losing the eyebrows, if we beat £2k I'll keep it shiny for one month:eek: !

Thanks, D.

[Davey]

Today we received a cheque for £500 :shock: , many many thanks to our mysterious benefcator who has requested anonimity, But we still need your money so get yer wad out and gimme sum! :D The £500 cheque was truly amazing, thanks so much to the anonymous benefactor. We are now over a grand so my eyebrows will be history, help us make it to over £2K and I'll keep my dome bright and shiny till August bank holiday. Donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/zoe-newell-headshave

To all who have contributed so far a huge thank you, without your help families with terminally ill children would really struggle to get through a very difficult time.

Thanks, D.

[MightyMouth]

Can't wait to see the eyebrows or lack thereof, I will keep my promise and donate again.

[Davey]

Thanks Keith, we're looking into the possibility of a live webcam feed of the actual shave;) .

D.

[Davey]

Just so you lot can see exactly what a trial this will be for my daughter here is a picture of her now!

[Spikehaus]

I will donate but please don't cut your hair off Zoe!! Just let Davey shave his eyebrows and I'm sure all fund raisers will be happy!:)

[Davey]

Hi Spike, several people have already offered to pay for Zoe to not shave her head, her reply is basically if you can double the donations for the shave then she'll keep it.............we're currently at about £1400 in total so unless you want to dish up £2800 or more then the hair gets it:p . As Zoe herself says, "its only hair, it'll grow back"! Thanks for your donation, every bit helps:D .

D.

[Davey]

Come on now chaps, I'm sure there's more of you that can spare a few quid, even a single pound helps. Hope house is totally reliant on charitable donations and they provide support to families with terminally ill children, often the only real support they get so please please please dig deep and give us a donation, absolutely anything you can spare will help, donate here http://www.justgiving.com/zoe-newell-headshave
or if you live in the west midlands you can come along to the Red Lion, Park Street, Madeley, Telford on Thursday 29th July and witness it for yourself. We're also having a BBQ, bouncy castle for the kids and a charity auction with loads of wonderful items up for grabs.

Respect for Zoe and Davey:)

[Davey]

Many thanks Suske, every contribution is valuable.

[Davey]

We hope to run a live webcam of the event, details to follow:D so you can all see it happen. We still need more contributions so if anyo of you have a spare quidlet or two please donate here:
http://www.justgiving.com/zoe-newell-headshave

D.

[Davey]
