Shave for a Cure 2010

Shave for a Cure is the Leukaemia & Blood Foundation’s (LBF’s) signature fundraising event. Shave10 is a fun and easy way to raise money, while showing empathy and solidarity for leukaemia patients, many of whom suffer hair loss as a result of life-saving treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The LBF is the national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families living with a blood cancer or a related blood condition. The LBF does not receive government funding. With your help we can continue to fund our core services – patient support programmes, research, information, awareness, and advocacy. Please join us to raise funds for those living with a blood cancer or a related blood condition.

Get your friends and work mates shaving
Help us get to 10,000 people shaving -- that’s one person for each one of the estimated 10,000 New Zealanders living with a blood cancer or condition. Please keep count of everyone who shaves with you and let us know so we can keep accurate count.

Post your Shave on You Tube
Show off your shave with others. Post your Shave on the LBF YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/user/LBFNZ and share it with your friends and families.

Join us on Facebook
If you aren’t sure where to shave or would like to invite others to your mass shave event, join us on Facebook. Go to http://www.facebook.com/LBFNZ to find others who are shaving in your area. If you are hosting a mass shave event in your area let us know!
