Hi All

"Due to an amazing response I have had to increase the Target, thanks very much to everyone who has voted so far... keep voting!"

Please help me raise money for the Red Cross Children's Hospital. As most of you know my son Nicholas had cancer 10 years ago and received his chemo treatment at Red Cross in Cape Town. He has just turned 21 and for the last 4 years we have had great fun cycling together, including the 2012 Absa Cape Epic. Check out his site at: www.ridingfortheredcross.com.  This year I am cycling the Argus Cycle Tour as part of the Red Cross fund raising group and would like to raise at least R3000.

Whilst undergoing chemo Nick lost all the hair on his head. Since then both of my daughters grew their hair and cut it short to donate the hair for wigs.  So “hair loss” seems to be a family theme.  I could offer to shave my head but I have so little left up there that it is not much of a challenge!  As most of you will know I have steadfastly refused to shave my LEGS for cycling! I am therefore offering YOU the chance to VOTE whether I should shave them or NOT.  You decide my fate! 

Each vote costs R20, when making a donation please use a reference "SHAVE" if you want me to shave my legs or please "DON'T SHAVE" if you think they are best left as they are!

VOTING

I am casting the first 25 votes myself and paying R500 to vote "DON'T SHAVE".....let's see what happens. R100 donated will count as 5 votes, etc.

You can vote via:-

a)      Credit Card 

b)      Or EFT to my bank account : Chris Hops Standard Bank Plettenberg Bay 050714 account 186874065

c)      Or cash when you see me

Please email me when you vote at [email protected] to help me keep a tally.  Assuming the “SHAVE” vote wins I will email a photo of the completed job, scars and all!

The final day for voting is 28th February 2013.

Thanks very much

Chris Hops
