Crop a Cop

A guy that Jamie works with - Willy - has been suffering from leukemia for a while now. He is back in Hamilton under going his second round of treatment and awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Lots of guys from Jamie's work have been working hard to help them out - e.g around the house doing working bees. They also came up with some fundraising ideas - Willy's wife and their 4 year old twins are renting a house in Hamilton to be closer to him - a bit tricky paying your mortgage and rent!!

So Friday night they had a Quiz Night - which I attended with a team from my work - as well as about 29 other teams! It was a great night out. They raised about $4,000 at that.

Last night (Monday) they had a "Crop a Cop" night. Jamie and maybe 20 others got sponsors - people to pay them money - if they would shave their heads. I think its a common cancer fundraising idea. Anyway. They raised about another $4,000 for that too! And together with other donations I think they are looking at about $10,000 all up! Here are the pictures of the fun! Me and the boys went down to watch.

The hairdressers who volunteered their time got a bit swamped, so Jamie picked up some clippers.

Then its his turn...

All for a good cause....but we've decided it'll be the last time he shaves his head!!
