Shaving heads for leukaemia cure

4 MARCH 2008

Charles Sturt University (CSU) staff members plan to lose their locks to the barber’s shears to assist in the fight against leukaemia. Five volunteers from the University’s Division of Marketing will shave their heads to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation on Friday 7 March at the CSU Wagga Wagga Campus. Division of Marketing manager, Ms Glenda Pym, who lost her brother to the disease two years ago, along with Ms Cheryl Wilson, Mr Celso de Souza and Mr Cade Whitbourn have stepped up to the challenge. Ms Pym says “Shaving my head pales into insignificance in the bravery stakes. It does enable me to do something very positive and in some small way contribute to getting us all closer to a cure. Research is the key to understanding the disease which in turn will unlock the cure.” Several other CSU staff members are colouring their hair in support of the Leukaemia Foundation.
