Shave your head Charity update!!
Hi folks.. I just want to update the people that are interested in the fund-raiser and also Thank the kind hearted people that have sent in checks and written posts. (I'll be sending out post cards at the end of the event to thank each of you individually)
Today is the day!! ok, so it WAS the day to do the head shaving. It's been postponed, since we are no where near the goal. Yes, I'm still going to do it, but next week on Saturday night. (Sept 22, 2007 8pm at Rips Co Surf Shop)
The blogging world has only taken this fund raiser so far (and I'm thankful for the support).. and being the person who I am, I won't settle to put my arms down and give up. I'm going out with a fight. These kids and parents are fighting everyday.. so will I.
If you have a minute of your blogging time to forward this link (www.ShaveYourHeadforCharity.com) to all the people in your contact book and ask them to do the same, we can potentially reach a few thousand people, if at least 10 of us do it..? Can I ask for that??
(I know we'va all forwarded less important things)
Here's how it went at the car show last night.. >> Read more about the experience and CHANGE OF GAME PLAN here <<..
comment to show support if you like. Hopefully many people from the car show will see the page also..
at Rips Co. Surf Shop.. map to royal palm beach surf shop..

EDIT: 10-9-2007 -for those of you requesting a closer shave.. :)

Hi Sally & Lysa, thanks for your continued support. :)) gotta love you both!!
Where is everyone else?
So...are you paparazzi now?
Something like that.. I'm off to a wedding with a bunch of little papers with the links in hand.. i hope to get some video :) see you all tonight. Tomorrow I hit Cityplace! :)
I wish I had a connection at the newspapers.!! :) anyone?? any newspaper?? down to the 11th hour!!
thanks for stopping by Bryant!Say hi to TLW for me.. :)
Nick keep the faith my friend. Like one of my favorite Yankees said "It ain't over until it is over." I like your never give up attitude.
Hi Nick! Here's hoping you'll get the support you need to get bald! Seriously, i'm praying that you have have favor with the Car folk.... that they will help you get the word out...... meanwhile...
Be encouraged!! GOD does see your heart!
Thank you for your words of encouragement.. Georgie and Diane.! I will remember your kind words.. and keep pushing. :)
Just like surfing.. never give up when paddling into the ocean. You'll get a break in the waves and get out there and get the ride of your life... just keep pushing. tomorrow I'm going to Cityplace and putting flyers on cars in nearby restaurants... hopefully I can capture some video to share with you folks, pushing for the best.
Georgie,it isn't over.. til it's over :) even after the head is shaved. This has opened my eyes to something bigger than myself.

That is so great that the owner of the surf shop is cooperating! I can't wait to see what happens next week. BTS, LOVE the new picture!
Hi Ines, yes, super cool of her to help. She's all for charities.. I'm all for that! I'll try to start getting some videos to make this a little more fun on the SYH blog. :)
the pic is older, but i don't age! ;) thanks for stopping by !
Nick...love the new pointer...cute idea ;) I would be happy to put an article up about it on my Blog outside Active Rain to get the word out here in Tampa?
Hi Leah, the pointer will be gone soon :) Any help is appreciated! i could use every bit of exposure possible. fyi, no last names (ever), just 'nick the appraiser' :)) you could help out by forwarding an email for me also.. just contact me via the AR form and i'll send it over. :)
I stopped off at your other blog. Hugs sounds amazing- and you are amazing for taking this on. I do a lot of fund raising and it is tough, hang in there, it is definitely not over!
Nick, Super pictures. And your techy work is above and beyond. You are just awesome and we hope there will be much more financial support for Hugs For Kids.
Hey Ginger, yes HUGS does a great thing. Just doing my part :) I read your MeMe and what you accomplished.. that was amazing! I'll keep hanging in there :)
Hi Ruth, I would have filmed a little, but I like keeping all my teeth! :) That makes two of us hoping for financial support... looks like the techy work is not getting people to the site and face to face.. but it did bring in about $1,000 ! :)
thanks for your support here and on the other site, as well as Ines (&Rick), Broker Bryant, Lysa and Midori :)
Hey Nick! It came to me that you have such a zeal and passion for this cause BECAUSE...... this is one of the missions you were designed to do! Your NAME alludes to it! Check this out:
definition of "nick": cut slightly, with a razor..... thus.......
"NICK" the appraiser =
Hi Diane, wow, what a day! :) i had to come and respond to your comment, because i'm flattered that you would make time to look up that definition. :^) i hope there aren't any nick's on that bald, white scalp! :) hee heee! thanks for stopping by.
So, Nick, what's the verdict? Did you actually shave your head for charity last night? We want pictures!!
Hi Tracy.. all done. updated the post with the link :) no video for now.. but should be up within the week..! :)
Well done!! That took a lot of guts!!
Hi Tracy, sorry I missed this before :) didn't mean to keep you waiting. It was fun!! plus I got a lot of comments that it looks good..! :) what can i say, except, i'm too sexy for my hair! HAHA!! thanks for stopping by! :^)
Nick,
I will shave my head with you, if you ask my wife first :0) Man we live right near each other, and My boy Billy B said some nice things about you, we should meet up soem time, My wife grew up in your neighborhood, it's changed alot..
Take Care,
Tom Weiss
It looks great! Although I must admit, I think you should have kept it as a mohawk for a day or two at least :-)
ps - 'sunberry'
Nick... now that you've done it.... just how do you feel??
Do share! (well, maybe you will on your video coming up?)
The Appraiser is "Nicked" .... and for now own he will "nick" all the appraisals in the bud??
hey Tom, nice talking with ya!. we'll hook up soon for some fooood duuuude! :) ps. I'm not asking your wife.. you do it! Looking foward to some good times..!
Hi Sara, thanks :) I must admit the mohawk was cool for a minute, but i prefer to baldie look..! :)
since i'm keeping the look, i'll be shaving it every weekend, so maybe i'll do a subtle mohawk this weekend :) ever read of the Purple Cow? ;)
Hey Diane, you're a riot! I do identify with some of those.. bald, GREAT! confident and cool. It was instantly refreshing for the breeze to caress my scalp! :) plus there are other benefits.. keep you eye on the other site at SYH and you'll see the posts coming soon :^)
I started the video but need some more from other cameras that were there.. so maybe by the end of the weekend. you're aving a blast with getting Nicked, huh? :))
wow, i never got a 'wonderberry' before.. hhmmm, i wonder. >crunch, crunch<
:)
I actually like it. Hot!
I think it would be HOTTER with a nice clean razor and a shiny scalp!
I second that!
All in favor? AYE!!
YAY!!! (pssst....I already tried....maybe you have more pull)
Hi Chris and Ines.. the hottest would be my scalp under this blazing sun!! :))
let me see what i can do.. i have an idea for some Sunday fun :))
Been almost a month, How did you do? Hair growing back?
Hi Bright.. hope you enjoy your time off. :)
Hey William, doing fine,.. real busy. If you're asking about the collection amount I made it (so far) to about $1200. Hair grows but I keep shaving it. I may do so until I make the $5,000 goal. Have some ideas in the works to keep it going. I'm a little behind getting back to all the donors :(
thanks for stopping by :) -take care!
