Hair for Hope 2007
Blogged by.. Knight-errant @ 4:00 AM



Time flies, it is my third year of participation into Children Cancer Foundation's Hair for Hope event. In comparision to last year, this year's event is definitely quieter than last year. It might be due to H1NI, current economy in bad shape, etceteras. Nonetheless, yesterday event was an astounding success.
Apart from the encouraging moments triggered by the courageous actions of the participating shavees, honestly, I almost teared for two scenes.
There was this pair of couple who participated as registered shavees. From their appearances, passerbys would have assumed that they are normal participants in the event. However, thoughts changed when the lady (the wife) took out a photograph (alike those in wooden frame used during funeral). The photograph pictures a very very young girl with a very sunshine and cute smile, almost diminishing her eyes. Guess what? This little girl had passed on after a tough struggle with children cancer.
Next scene was during testimonial sharing by a caregiver (mother to a cancer kid). She was saying that her son was on the risk of contracting chemical-induced diabetes in view of the drugs been administered. Hence, the kid had to go through 7 blood test daily to detect any possibilities of contracting this specific diabetes. It was after a couple of days after when the kid looked at his mother and said: "Mummy, I have no more fingers left to be pricked."
thanx for all the great kicks
