Just a reminder that it's only a week to go till I shave the back of my head into a mirror of the front for charity!
Imagine the set of mutton chops I sport on my face now - then imagine them mirrored on the back of my head - eyebrows and all!
And YOUR DONATIONS stop me shaving it all off!
So far I am keeping my haircut trimmed and silly-looking for 26 days - which has been an amazing $574.61 in donations so far!
The daily cost increases by 10% for every additional day, so:
$ 595.91 in Donations, and I keep it for 27 DAYs.
$ 721.05 in Donations, and it stays on the back of my head for 29 DAYs !
$ 872.47 in Donations, and I look like a street theatre reject for a full MONTH !!
$1055.69 worth of Donations and I risk respectability for a MONTH and 3 days, but also give my backward beard a face !!!
Most of us are a poor bunch, and I understand if you can't donate - but anything you can spare is worth it - and may prolong my looking ridiculous.
If it gets to $1000 of donations, I shall henna tattoo a face on the back there as well.
As an added bonus - I will donate however much I am short of another day in order to make that day count! So if it gets to 29 days and I am $60.40 short of 30 days - I'll donate to make up that to 30 days. If it gets to 33 days, and we are $105.57 away from 34, I'll chip in that amount to prolong my suffering!
You can either donate in person (I have official receipts), or via the web-page:

Help clone Conrad White and support the Leukaemia Foundation
ITD staff member Conrad White is raising money for the Leukaemia Foundation, and you can help him. For those who haven't met Conrad, he sports an impressive set of mutton chop sideburns and a moustache, which he proposes to mirror on the back of his head along with eyebrows and a face, if only he gets enough sponsors. The more money he raises, the longer he will keep this amazing forward-reverse man look. If he receives more than $872.47 in donations he will keep his bizarre haircut for a whole month.
To sponsor Conrad on this noble tonsorial quest, visit:
http://my.imisfriendraising.com.au/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=277965 Forward this MESSAGE to as many of your family, friends, email lists, forums, blogs and so on that you think would like to see me look positively ridiculous for as long as possible!
It's for a great cause! So get them to prolong my idiocy now!
I dare you all to breach the $1000 mark in Donations!
