Ok, here is what's going on in my little universe.  I have been shaving my head since about 1992 and with the exception of once when I got bored, the head to hair ratio on my head has been around 99 to 1.

Fast forward 22 years to the 30th of April this year and my 3rd daughter Daisy was born, as has been my way with the birth of my children I have always liked to shave my head the day before they are born for that clean shaven daddy look when we first meet.

Initially I had no plans to go as far as I have however as time went on... and my wife became more annoyed by it.. I started to have some fun. I have been called Krusty, Bobo, Bozo, Leo Sayer, Bob (That 70's Show), Richard Simmons, John McEnroe and other things that I would rather not repeat. As the Fro continued to develop I wondered what I was going to do with it.

About 2 months ago I posted a photo of my hair with about 10 pig tails in it, a co worker said that if I wear my hair to work like that she would donate $200 to the charity of my choice, then another coworker offered $100 if I would do a Krusty the clown. The wooden cogs began to turn and I thought well how can the Fro help others.

So now 6 months 15 days and 20 hours later here I sit with a pile of hair on my head and a mission to hopefully raise a couple of thousand dollars for a good cause. After speaking to my wife Mandy .. (one of only 4 or 5 times she has spoken to me in the past 6 months, her and the hair just don't get along) we decided that the money raised would go to Heart Kids WA to say thank you to the amazing work they did for our 4 year old daughter Esme who is a heart baby.

So we would love you to get on board and help out, all I am asking is for you to donate whatever you can afford, even if its only a dollar, every dollar counts. Now if you're like some of my co-workers and you feel the need to embarrass or exploit me I am happy to do any hairstyle you ask of me .. IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

So come along on the journey and enjoy my last 2 weeks of FROdom and lets raise a heap of cash for HeartKidsWA.

The only thing I can promise is before the final shave there will be a mullet.
