Bald for Boobs

By Deanna Berry

I'm now a Zero Hero

2 years ago i dyed my hair to raise money for breast cancer.  I felt like doing something for a good cause and because my great grandmother had been through breast cancer too.... Little did i know that 2 years later my beautiful mother would be diagnosed with breast cancer. My mum has been through the thick and thin of life, having 8 crazy daughters, coaching softball for many years and then the rest!!! She has just started on her road to recovery!! A road that seems like its going to take soo long to get through and yet has only just started. While we cant take any of this away for her, we can do things to help her feel supported and not alone while she faces the next year or so of challenges. So before her hair falls out, Myself and my sister Jacqui are going to shave our heads for the NBCF. We are shaving our heads this Tuesday 29th March but will continue to have this link open to fundraise until the end of April.

Tuesday 29th Mar
Here we go peeps... the countdown is on!!! Tonight Jacqui n Myself are shaving our heads for breast cancer!!! Sooo excited!! And soo pumped for bringing awareness and raising funds for such a great cause!!! 

1 MORE DAY!!!!

Monday 28th Mar
After seeing the amount of support we have received so far my heart is sooooo full! Full of pride, amazement, love, appreciation, surprise, happiness! 
This morning i watched my beautiful Mum lose so much of her hair as she brushed it. She has always been so proud of her hair. It was always done so nicely, well presented, healthy and had the coolest natural streaks you have ever seen! She told me to pull some of it and the way it felt and seeing the hair come out was so overwhelming and a hige reminder that somethings are so much more important then others... as i literally gently moved my hairs through her hair it just fell out. If i could swap places with her i would in a second. 
Some days i get so frustrated because ny hair wont sit straight or how i want it  too. I get annoyed because i cant be bothered brushing it or ive dry shampooed one too many times during the week. Lol and yet those problems are absolutely minimal in the bigger scheme of things! I am blessed to have my hair as long and healthy as it is.! As many others dont have that luxury! 

I am so much more excited today to be shaving it all off for My Mum and for all the other wonderful souls in the world that are affected by breast cancer.. or any other cancer!!  So proud of my sister Jacqui who is taking the plunge with me and shaving her head tomorrow night too. 

And i am even more proud of my mum who is still standing strong and positive! She really is the most amazing and special person on this earth!

Tonight is the last night i fall asleep with my hair!! Tomorrow night it all comes off!! Watch this space!!!
