What makes a hero?

**Donor** · 23rd June 2007, 10:26

I'll put a request through proper channels, and see if I can get contact details for the little lass or at least the family.

As previously stated, if anyone else is interested in starting some FUNdraising for child cancer, then I'll start the ball rolling by offering:

1) A head to be shaved bare (I'll grow a bit more hair to make it a challenge)
2) 2 perfectly good and fur covered legs for the waxing of. (Prefer a lady to win this one!)

Perhaps a new thread could be born...

Cool ideas, yes Canteen is the way to go (doh I didn't think of that!). Thanks - Cheers.

Hell even i have not done the above Donor, its great that you know that its not a name, its a statement, although i do get called it from time to time..

Anything you need a hand with in reguards to ideas on a organised ride you just say the word mate

Damn...ok, I'll start by wiping the tears off my face! Geez, that's an awesome thread Donor, thanks for bringing it up.

I got a beautiful (and God bless, very healthy) 9 year old son, and there isn't a day that goes by without me thanking whatever or whoever gave him to me.

Often, when I'm down, my mind wanders into the "what if" file: what if he got sick, hurt or the likes....and it doesn't bear thinking about!

I have been lucky enough to meet young ones like this young lady you have mentionned, and the courage, maturity and profound insight of these beautiful souls is staggering and so very humbling.

Please put me down for any participation I'd be able to offer. Hell, a brazillian is not that much pain for such a worthy cause....

If its a tad closer to summer... I will also have my head shaved for this cause as well.
(as I need to have some cysts removed from my head when it is shaved)

So how much will all you KBers pay for me to have my hair (on my head) all shaved off?

I don't know about shaving my head for Canteen (the world isn't ready for that), but for a "significant" starting bid I'd lose my 33-year-old moustache...

I'll put in $10 to ensure Hitcher doesn't shave that big noggin of his. I'd support a KB initiative to help Canteen, as I'm sure all of us would.

some of our guys did this a while back, we ran an auction,, people bid to shave our hair off, was heaps of fun and raised a bit of dosh for the cancer kids ,to make it more intersting we all dyed our hair prior to the auction !

if someone sets it up again, would be keen to get involved, what the hell not that much hair left anyway !, I am sure I can get a few other guys involved

F/F

**cowboy** · 23rd June 2007, 17:30

I'd probably suggest you contact CanTeen and arrange a donation, or just look out for bandanna's next Bandanna Day and buy one or two... perhaps make it regional ride day and have mass KB head shavings?

Hell, I'd auction off my head and legs for shaving/waxing to the highest bidder if there was enough interest (be a pretty steep reserve though!)

Didn't you fullas and fullesses see the Simpsons tonight????

Bikers are supposed to be BAD!

Yer but no but yer. Nice one Donor.

**Toaster** · 23rd June 2007, 21:53

Always keen for doing what we can for those less fortunate than ourselves. A fundraiser ride sounds good.
