Story

I am raising money for Children’s Cancer Charities in UK and Singapore. My wife thinks I am just a "suit". So she challenged me to shave my head for charity to show support for children with cancer. So yes - I am ditching the suit and ditching the hair! On Sat 28 July 12 (yesterday) I had my head publicly shaved on stage at Vivo City. I am delighted to tell everyone that so far in Singapore I have raised over $500 and I will be matching dollar for dollar or pound for pound raised. A few friends in the UK have been kind enough to offer to sponsor me. I have created a JUST GIVING page for my UK supporters. The two charities to benefit will be the Children’s Cancer Charity in Singapore and the CandleLighters organisation at Leeds General Hospital. For the CandleLighters the donation will be made on behalf of my friends Mark Whiley and his son Mathew Whiley. So please give generously... and if I can raise my £200 target I will reveal all!  Thank you all so much in advance for any donation, no matter how small - a few pennies can make a bid difference. John.
