Losing hair for a good cause
"We're all born bald, baby!" - Telly Savalas
Connected Systems has sponsored Microsoft Perth Executive Account Manager, Rob Leeming, for the World's Greatest Shave 2011. On March 10th 2011, Rob will don the hairdresser cape and lose his hair for a very worthy cause, well done Rob!
The big shave will be at the Globe Restaurant in Perth, Connected Systems will be there around 10am to support Rob.
Below is some information from the Leukaemia Foundation.
Did you know?
- Every hour of every day, at least one person in Australia is diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
- Every two hours, someone loses their life to blood cancer.
- $26 can provide emotional support to help someone overcome the shock of being diagnosed
- $40 can help improve treatments and find cures by funding a PhD student's laboratory costs for a day
- $57 can support patients who are too ill to drive by providing a day's transport to and from treatment
- $80 can give a regional family who've had to move closer to treatment, a place to call home for a night
Your donation will help the Leukaemia Foundation provide free, practical support to patients during their long and tough treatment. Plus it will boost research into better treatments and hopefully cures for blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
